Most adults are running on empty, stuck in routines, disconnected from nature, and craving real connection. Deonte Sullivan created Kickback Campout to change that. More than a weekend getaway, it’s an experience designed to help adults unplug, recharge, and rediscover community through outdoor adventure, shared experiences, and meaningful conversations.

In this episode of Huntsville Hustle, Deonte shares how Kickback Campout grew from an idea into a movement, bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs, and everyday people through activities like camping, live music, kayaking, horseback riding, and group experiences that leave people feeling refreshed, connected, and inspired.
