About Us

Founder’s Origin Story
Mark Gagnon, the voice behind the hit podcast Camp Gagnon, built a following through thoughtful and entertaining discussions on everything from history and conspiracies to deep cultural topics. His penchant for authenticity and curiosity fueled an online community that values creativity and honest expression.

Joining Flagrant
Along the way, Mark became one of the four main co-hosts of the wildly popular Flagrant. His distinct point of view and comedic timing won hearts, expanding his reach and cementing his place in the comedy and podcast world.

Camp Gagnon to Camp R&D
With Camp Gagnon consistently reaching new listeners, the idea for merchandise naturally followed. The phrase "GET YOUR CAMP DRIP HERE" featured in podcast episodes served as the spark—what if the ethos of the camp could live on beyond audio? Thus, Camp R&D™ was born: a streetwear line that channels the same free-spirited, inquisitive energy celebrated on the mic.

Our Vibe & Mission
Inspired by '90s nostalgia, the outdoors, and the campfire talk of true connection, Camp R&D draws inspiration from designs that feel timeless and tactile. Whether you're in an urban jungle or under a blanket of stars, our pieces—tees, hoodies, hats, and curated goods—are crafted to bridge rugged simplicity with creative flair.

For the Curious, the Creative, the Candid
Every stitch, print, and collection is a nod to original thought and unfiltered conversation. Our gear is designed for those intrigued by the world—artists, thinkers, explorers of ideas and terrain alike.

From Campfire to Streetwear
What started as a spark in the digital campfire of Camp Gagnon has transcended the screen. Camp R&D is a physical manifestation of connection—where storytelling meets style.
