Next Winter Camp: 27 Dec 2020 - 2 Jan 2021
The centre we use is a youth camp with dormitories and bunk beds. We have 2 persons (very few, for couples), 4/5 and 8-persons dorms. Bathrooms are shared (gender seperated).
We also create 10 ’non-official’ on site spots for small tents and campervans. Options outside the camp: Camping ’De krakeling’ or Hotel ’Oud London’ on walking distance. You also can try Airbnb of course.
Diner is being prepared by the centre we rent. So we do not have to cook, but the diner is fairly simple. We offer a choice between vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
The breakfast is being prepared by our own team and is a feast to see and eat.
Unfortunately the centre does not cater for diets. Some people bring food and heat it in the microwave or cook on a simple electric hot plate.
We offer a bed, mattress and small pillow. So bring your favorite pillow, sheets, pillow cover, duvet, towels, blindfold, earplugs and maybe some cloth to hang over your bunk bed. We stay in a beautiful forest, so take walking cloths and swimsuit in the summer. Two weeks before the camp we will inform you on further details.
If you need you can rent bedding: sheets, pillow cover & duvet 17,50 euro (no towel). Please let us know on forehand!
Each camp we have one or two nights with a special dress code. We learned that sometimes this helps us to create a special focus and atmosphere.
Everything we do at the camp is based on invitation. So you do not have to dress up if you do not want to.
We have a great team of around 15 helping angels. They do a lot of work every day to make the camp as nice as possible for everybody.
Still we need a bit of help from all participants to prepare breakfast and dinner and to do the dishes and cleaning up afterwards. Therefor we ask everyone to do about 1 or 2 times a week a little shift up to 1 1/2 hour each.
The camp is an intensive event with a full program. We experienced that parents - especially with smaller children - can have a hard time dividing time between tango and children. Also there is little extra space for children to play and run around freely especially in the winter.
Having said this, children are of course welcome.
We balance leaders-followers role so everybody can find enough partners. But we are also aware that more and more dancers like to dabce both roles. That is why you can book as ‘double role‘. This means you would dance 50/50 as leader/follower.
Please do not use the double role option to skip the followers waiting list. We will limit the number of ‘double rolers‘ to also have a reasonable gender-balance at the camp.
