When is it?

The Berlin Beach Camp will start Thursday, May 8th and will last until Monday, May 12th 2008.

Where is it?

Our Berlin Camp will happen at the "Strandbad Grünau" (Sportpromenade 9, 12527 Berlin) which is located in the beautiful scenic area of Berlin's southeast. It is the most historical beach side swimming bath in Berlin. We have rented this location exclusively for our members and their friends. There is a white sandy beach and a clear lake in front of the camp. Though it is far away from any residential area, it is very easy to reach. see map

Who can come?

While mainly HC, CS, BW members will be there, of course non-members are very welcome as well. We hope you will get a first great impression of our communities this way. If you're not a member yet why not signing up and joining our communities? Of course members can bring their guests with them, but guests also have to register and we kindly ask them for a small extra donation.

What to bring?

Most important: good mood!

Please bring a tent, insulation mattress, warm sleeping bag. Think about different types of clothing: casual stuff for the warmer daytime, some warmer clothing for the evening. You can bring your own food, but we'll have enough food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) for very reasonable prices and a cheap supermarket is close by. So there's no need to bring food. Please don't bring any glass bottles as they are not allowed on the party area.

Participation fees

There will be a very small fee that covers all the essential expenses, i.e. lifeguard, rent for the location, sound system, etc. We want to make it affordable for everyone, that's why it will be from as little as 3 - 5 EURO per day. The longer you'll stay the cheaper it gets. Doesn't that sound good!? To cover extra costs we heartly appreciate donations.

Eating / Drinking

It will be possible to purchase basic meals for very reasonable prices (Sandwiches, Yoghurts, Sausages, Salads, Candy Bars, etc.). We also have all kinds of drinks. Prices for this will be as low at possible. There's a cheap supermarket close by as well.

You are allowed to bring your own food if you want to, but no glass bottles are allowed.

Climate

May is normally a good time in Berlin. During daytime it is not unlikely to wear a T-Shirt, though in the evening it can be still a little bit chilly. So best is maybe to wear multiple layers to be flexible. We'll have some heaters so that we can still sit outside during night time and it is always possible to enter the concert hall.

Sleeping

You have 2 options. We can offer a great camping area. If you want to sleep in your car or camping-bus, there are overnight-parking possibilities approx. 500 meters away from the location. We definately recommend camping!

camping:

We have a great camping area. If you have a tent, please bring it with you because the spots in the dormitory are limited in number. Please remember bringing a good sleeping bag. If you have some free space in your tent, consider to offer it to those members who don't have a tent.

dormitory:

We can also provide sleeping space in a dormitory. You need to bring a mattress and a sleeping bag to crash down on the ground. If you have a tent and a good sleeping bag, please consider camping as the better option, because the spots in the dormitory are limited in number and the camping area is great!

Hygiene

We have plenty of real toilets and washbowls. Clean showers are also on spot. Everything will stay clean as long as everyone is keeping it clean :)

Safety

We want you to have a great time at the Berlin Camp. Your safety is important to us. Therefore we have some very easy but essential safety rules. Please respect this so that we can have a good time together.

  • Absolutely no glass vessels on party area (that includes bottles, glasses, etc.) unless you leave them in your tents.
  • Please consider that the water is shallow on the shoreline. Jumping into the water head first is not a good idea!
  • No open fires at other than indicated places.

Program / Activities

This event lives from its participants. There will be all kind of entertainment. What is possible? Music, arts, performances, movies, exhibitions - just everything you like. Are you a musician? There will be an open stage, please bring your instruments and perform. Do you have a presentation of one of your trips? Present them to others on our screen. So if you can contribute something, mention this in your registration.

We have a beach volleyball area, many row boats, chess fields, table tennis – but also plenty of beach chairs to do just nothing and being lazy. Please bring everything you want, like Frisbees, footballs, rackets, twister games ... whatever you like.

How can you help us?

All this is organised by volunteers. We are happy to invite you to Berlin and that you have fun together with us. So please come and enjoy! And you could tell your friends about it!

If you want to contribute to the event, we would highly appreciate your participation. There are several possibilities:

prior to the event:

If you're arriving prior to the event, you could help us with preparations at the site. Please tell us if you can contribute to the program. Bring some sporting goods (Frisbees, footballs, etc.). If you're a musician bring your instruments, we have a good PA. Bring your spare sleeping bags or mattresses for those having none and share them.

during the event:

We will organise all kind of voluntary work, i. e. entrance control, security patrol, cleaning groups, kitchen work etc. This will be organised on the spot. If you want to participate you can register during the camp. Please stay to the 3 safety rules and throw your rubbish (incl. cigarette butts) into the bins. Thanks for your help.

after the event:

Please help us to clean up on Monday and dismantle the installations.

How can we help you?

Any more questions? Do you need special assistance? Whatever you need, contact one of the organisers. We do whatever we can to make this a joyful event for all of us
