Abstract: Abstract The finale of my scholarly journey into qualitative investigation came in the form of Qualitative Camp, a week-long program of concentrated lectures, discussions, and activities designed to hone and expand qualitative research knowledge and skill sets. The camp took place on Norway’s Lofoten Islands, and I was admitted as part of a larger research fellowship with Nord University in Bodø, Norway. Throughout the week, presenters led sessions that added new, insightful perspectives to the information and techniques I thought I had previously mastered. Some examples included framing research questions as mystery problem statements, using theoretical constructs to give codes structure and make analysis less chaotic, and avoiding the trap of over-coding data. After completing Qualitative Camp, I was 100% certain I was up to the task of sitting across from any research participant and extracting every word of data. Or so I thought.
