SphereCamp (CT) Jun 25–27
Posted June 24, 2010
Note: Posted as received.
Encourage your inner superhero with a weekend dedicated to being playful.
Most people think camp is just for kids. Not us; we think adults (or big kids as we like to say) should be able to go to camp too. Especially a camp that encourages playfulness and creativity. Somewhere to go and learn awesome things but also just to relax and play for the sake of playing. Everyone is invited to share ideas, toys, and big smiles. Beginners, experts, and anyone in between will leave with new experiences, new skills, and new friends.
SphereCamps are three-day camping events for playful people of all ages. TryOut Toys provides spheres and other toys so you can play even if you have no toys of your own. There will be sphere games, fire spinning, the raffle, fire circles, drumming, dancing, live music, a DJ, and countless other ways to encourage your inner superhero.
This year we are trying out a new place. A beautiful new place. Schreiber's Farm is a working farm with over 350 acres of woods, rolling hills, ponds, and a river too.

Things to know:
It is a bring-your-own-everything in and take-your-own-everything out event. Leave no trace.
We encourage the avoidance of plastic utensils, cups, and other disposables. The camping is primitive, as in there is no electric or water available. Bring your tent; there's nothing like sleeping in a tent on a lovely summer night!
Cars are allowed in the main camping area to drop stuff off. Once you unload, please move your car to the parking area. Please drive only on the farm roads. RVs are allowed in a designated area.
Dogs need to be well behaved and attended to at all times.
We will have a big tent to play and gather under.
The privies (porta-lets) will be well maintained over the weekend.
River bathing is ok as long as biodegradable soap is used.
Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
We'd like to try our hands at a community meal, so every day at 6pm bring a dish if you feel like joining in.
