ToorCamp
ToorCamp is a multi-day gathering where we focus on technology and its integration into society.
We are inspired by the hacker camps in The Netherlands and Germany. We hope to form groups, build structures, setup art projects, and throw parties!
ToorCon is the major organizer. We also work with other hacker conferences in the US. Your registration fee covers the power and internet -- you create the rest! Play, learn, and share!
This wiki can be used as a tool for organizing or prototyping anything, including campsites, carpools, sharing tools, and other sundries. It can also be used to record and share what we have done at the camp. The website and wiki is your source for information, while the Discord is where people tend to talk and is the primary means of communication during ToorCamp, and the Google Group is a good place to post about ride shares, etc.
ToorCamp 2024
ToorCamp 2024 is located at Doe Bay Resort & Spa on Orcas Island, WA. The venue features cabins, yurts, domes, and full camping facilities so you can focus on relaxing and hanging out with other technology enthusiasts. ToorCamp will be on June 26-June 30, 2024.

Events and PartiesCan you think of a better way to spend a summer night than kicking back on a hammock, grilling up something on the BBQ, and hanging out with good friends?
