Creative Camping: Theming Your Camp

Theming your camp is a good artistic outlet in addition to a solution to entice passers-by to return in and mingle. A themed camp has a welcoming angle and a constructive power.

Tenting at a competition doesn’t need to be purely useful. My favourite a part of day one arrival is organising camp, adorning it, and ensuring the vibes are immaculate.

First issues first, you’re going to wish a camp identify. My group got here up with “Camp Cease Received’t Cease”, a intelligent play on Miley Cryus’ hit track Can’t Cease Wont Cease. Decide one thing that goes with the vibe of your pal group, a particular inside joke, or a intelligent play on phrases.

Decide one thing memorable that individuals would possibly keep in mind whenever you inform them to return search for your camp. Then, you’ll must make an indication for the entrance of your camp stating your camp identify. Lights, paint and neons all work nicely, make it eye catching! Pass on the glitter though. That stuff is MOOP-y!

After you have your identify, it may be straightforward to embellish your camp.

Set-up: Use one or two EZ-ups on the entrance and heart of your camp to be the central hub the place you’ll be able to entertain. *Be courteous and don’t be too grasping together with your camp dimension, everyone knows it will probably get cramped and different campers want area too!*

Then you’ll be able to strategically place all of your tents across the EZ-ups. Hanging up tapestries between the partitions of the EZ-ups and your tents can supply some additional privateness from the ‘lounge’ as I wish to name it. This additionally provides a little bit of shade and colour to your camp. If it’s on model together with your theme, even higher!

Subsequent you’ll want some lights, we like to make use of photo voltaic or battery powered string lights, el-wire, mini disco balls, mini projector lights, and many others. Sure, you’ll spend a small fortune on AA and AAA batteries, go to Costco.

It’s vital to have good night time time vibes for camp pit stops, plus it’s simpler to see your cocktail station with out busting out your lantern or headlight. The most effective half is, it received’t really feel so miserable to run again to camp to refill your drink, you would possibly even get caught there.

Theming like a professional.

You could have your camp identify and a fantastic arrange, now it’s time to stage up your camp. Discover a sport or interactive expertise your camp can supply to passers-by or new mates you invite again to camp. It might be a dance occasion, a make-up or physique portray space, craft desk, some form of remedy, particular cocktail bar, reward you give folks, and I may go on and on.

It should actually make your expertise extra enriched and memorable, in addition to for the brand new mates you meet and convey again to camp. Now, go on the market and invite some sparkle ponies and that random hippie couple you danced with again to the camp for tea!

A few of my finest reminiscences at music festivals have been made at another person’s camp. I as soon as stumbled into probably the most epic cuddle puddle within what I’m fairly positive was a rocket capsule. Be sure to go exploring in the camping areas while walking between stages.

Individuals are often completely happy to have you ever are available in and say hello, particularly if they’re nicely embellished and themed, odds are, they WANT you to return in. What thrills will you find on your journey through Lucidity this year?
