Sleeping at the camp

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, man-women separate or mixed.

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.

Food

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.

What to bring

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!

Parties and dress code

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.

How can we create a milonga to help us explore, enjoy and even celebrates ‘diversity’ to the max, but do it light and with a smile? How to express our true self in abundance, without being too serious about it? So, we came with a dress code for one evening that says it all:

EXTRAVAGANZA

Extravaganza stands for freedom of style and structure and can contains elements of burlesque, pantomime, music hall and parody. It sometimes also has elements of cabaret, circus, revue, variety, vaudeville, carnival or mime. For extravaganza you need to take a risk to be abundant and to express yourself to the max with a wink. Go for it en enjoy.

And bring a white dance outfit, because we might celebrate silently our beautiful diverse connection in white again!

Helping our team

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.

Children at the camp

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.

That is why we prefer to set an age limit and only accept children from 12 years onwards.
