Kids Camp is not a daycare. It is a community driven village that utilizes the resources of actual attendees. It is not officially hosted by ToorCamp. You are responsible for your own children, not Toorcamp or the volunteers who are staffing the village.

Kids workshops for your little ones! Hang out space with kid focused things and light snacks. Make sure to register them! Adult guardians volunteering to be in the space during the time that talks are happening, quid pro quo setup.

Reach out on discord channel #kids-camp for more info.

TLDR

  1. register your kid
  2. Volunteer for a couple shift to hang in the space.
  3. Bring a workshop/activity to share. Let us know in the registration the details.

Registration

Please make sure to fill out the Kids Camps Registration form so we can make sure to have enough guardians and activities setup for your little ones!

What is Kids Camp?

We're setting up a kid friendly space to cover all of the time that talks are going on at the camp. We are also hosting kid-focused workshops for those older kid hackers that are able to make it out! Location is still TBD but will be announced in the days leading up to the event. If you're interested in registering your kid to participate(out of diapers, able to go to the bathroom without assistance, etc), we just ask that you volunteer for a couple shifts during the time you are at ToorCamp.

Kids Workshops

If you're bringing an older kid (out of diapers, semi independent), there will be activities and workshops. These aren't the same as the hang out space, they're activities for you to work on with your kid. If you have an idea for a Workshop let us know in the registration form above. NOTE: you can do this even without a Kid to register.
