Mad Camp 2023 last year was a huge blast amazing success! So we are psyched for Mad Camp 2024!!!

We want to feel stronger connection with you – the amazing incredible people of the mad movement, and we want to enliven our community solidarity with each other. Since the early days of the movement summer camps have been an antidote to burnout and a key to weaving friendships and sharing visions. We are called to reignite this spirit through MAD CAMP 2024! And Mad Camp 2023 was freaking amazing!

Spaces are limited!
Here are the ticket prices, which include all amazing amazing meals and lodging -- and no additional costs. (Transportation not included). We boosted the ticket price to correctly reflect estimated costs.

$ 910 - Two room cabin (2 beds, 1 per room) per person
$ 740 - One room cabin (2 beds, both in same room) per person
$ 600 - Tent per person

We are raising money for limited scholarships! You can mark your need below. (We worked hard to sort out the finances for this, let us know any questions.)

Scholarships are based on money raised! Help raise money!

Are you a RETURNING Mad Camper who got a ticket for Mad Camp 2023? *
Are you ready to commit to Mad Camp July 18-22 with a deposit on your ticket?

(If you are not ready to submit your deposit, please check back later to fill out this application when you know you are ready to apply.)

We need a $150 deposit from everyone so that we can secure the venue. We will inform applicants how to make your deposit.

***Deadline to apply is April 8th 2024***

Space is limited! 

We will be in touch to confirm your application with details about how to send the ticket deposit. Filling out an application is not a guarantee that you will be able to join Mad Camp as space and scholarships are limited.

(We are doing it this way because we have to secure the funds for the venue rental and caterer, so we have to know how many people can actually pay, now, and we have limited space, and we might not have space for everyone. We are just a small crew of volunteers and we don't have any money ourselves to cover things. Please check our Frequent Questions for more info.)

Please read the Frequently Asked Questions to make sure you understand what Mad Camp is and is not  --  including that this is an event by and for mad people: https://madcamp.net/faq/

Have you read the Frequently Asked Questions?
 *
What is your first and last name? *
What are your preferred pronouns? *
What is your phone number? *
Are you 18 or over? Optional: provide your age if you want. (If people want to bring their kids, get in touch with us.) *
Please say a little about yourself and why you're excited about Mad Camp! A sentence or two, a few key words...  *
Have you read the Mad Camp website and understand Mad Camp is for ourselves as mad people? We are not going to focus on other people or on our work or on being helpers for others etc etc. We are mad people gathering for ourselves (this is not an event for parents, spouses, case managers etc). Does this make sense and is this you? Let us know any questions, you can also contact us. *
The Mad Camp space has one large floored gathering building, lawns and a patio, but doesn't have paved pathways between cabins and buildings. So basically it's not really wheelchair accessible - which is really not our ideal (and if you have any ideas about this let us know - we need help). Let us know any mobility issues you have and we will do our best. Also let us know any other disability access issues you may have.
We're not against substances. But because of the rules of the retreat center (and the space we are trying to create) means Mad Camp is not for alcohol or drugs -- not for getting high on substances. Is that ok with you? (There is a designated cigarette smoking / vaping area.) *
Mad Camp welcomes people taking or not taking medication. Mad Camp is not a place for a change from your regular intake of meds or a time to come off meds. Shaking up your life with travel and new people away from home etc is not a time to make big shifts in substances, that includes psych meds or stopping nicotine. Mad Camp is a summer camp, too many factors involved (if you use medical cannabis contact us).  *
Do you understand that we aren't organizing transport to or from the venue? (We'll try to connect people for rideshares etc but can't guarantee anything! The site is 4 hours north of San Francisco on public transit, the transit fee is $26 each way.) *
Can you offer a rideshare? If so from where to where, or maybe you can do some shuttles to public transit on day of?
Do you need a ride? From where to where, and what days (such as from an airport etc)?
Do you understand we are renting the space and we all get kicked out at the end, so you must have a place to go afterwards, and we aren't organizing this? *
There are different lodging accommodations based on pricing and availability. Please tell us your preference and any must-have requirements.

Most of the accommodations are shared with one or two other people. We don't plan to split cabins up by gender identity unless you specify your need.

Two room cabins ($910 per person) do not have doors, so are not completely private between the two rooms. Two room cabins have a shared bathroom inside the cabin.

One room cabins ($740 per person) have two twin beds in a single room without privacy, with a walk to a shared bathroom.

Tent camping ($600 per person) is the cheapest option but you will need to bring your tent and sleeping bag.

Some cabins have a longer walk to a shared bathroom and some cabins have a shared bathroom in or next to the cabin. Tent camping also shares the larger bathroom with multiple cabins and is a short walk to the shared bathroom.

Please communicate any needs about lodging (including strong preferences and also any must-have requirements)...

 *
We are balancing lodging availability with lottery and personal needs. SO -- if only tent camping is available is that cool with you? *
Are you coming with a partner, friend, twin flame, soul fam, or a group you'd like us to lodge you together with? Please list all names to put together and we will do our best. 
We want a diverse Mad Camp! We want to welcome people otherwise excluded, marginalized, or left out because they are not part of majorities. 

Let us know how you being at Mad Camp would add to the mix of who is there. Space is limited and we'll do our best to balance the group as much as we can, by prioritizing people and supporting people who might face obstacles otherwise.

Mad Camp is based on non-judgement, confidentiality, respect, personal responsibility, self-awareness, tolerance of differences, communication, and consideration - the basics of good community. We are not providing a service or product - we co-create Mad Camp together! Do you agree to follow these guidelines? *
Please list all dietary restrictions and we will communicate them to the kitchen preparers. All meals include gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options as well as meat and dairy options. In 2023 we met everyone's diet needs, and we hope to do this again for 2024.) 
Are there other needs you have that we should be aware of so that we can plan and prepare? How flexible are you with these needs? We'll do the best we can.
Mad Camp cannot exist without donations. Can you agree to help raise money by sharing the Gofund me link, asking people you know, spreading on social media, bugging people, approaching people???  https://gofund.me/570a3244 and https://madcamp.net/donate/
Mad Camp is all volunteers! Are you interested in volunteering with Mad Camp? Can you volunteer on the days of Mad Camp, or help plan beforehand, or both? What special skills do you have as a volunteer - peer support listening/holding space, logistics, errand-running, spreadsheet wizardry, creating signs, medical skills, ridesharing, registering people, setup and breakdown...)?
For our program and activities, we are self-organizing with free offerings such as group activities and facilitated experiences, many created on the fly. Do you have a skill or offering or specialty you want to share with others? Such as music DJ, lead an art group, lead a hike, meditation, story time, crafting, yoga, reiki, music sing a long, hold listening space, teach a class... Participatory is best. In 2023 we had 43 different offerings! That is not a typo! 43!! We are excited to hear what you might bring! Or surprise us when you get here!
If you are in Northern California or nearby -- can you bring pool toys and other supplies that might be awesome for a summer camp? Such as musical instruments, inflatable floats for the pool, extra towels, extra tents and sleeping bags, shade structures (it's gonna likely be hot sunny weather), canopy tent, frisbees, sports gear, weird costumes, flags, hammocks, comfy pillows, art supplies, surprise special snacks, bubble machines, a bouncy castle, BOOKS FOR THE MAD LIBRARY, those cool sparkler things, your comic book collection, board games, jigsaw puzzles, badminton set, croquet set (there is an awesome large lawn) volleyball set, flags, ... What can you bring???
At Mad Camp 2023 the weather hit 105° F / 40.5° C (!). Average for July is in the mid- to upper- 80°s F. The climate is Mediterranean and has very low humidity, so shade is relieving and temperatures drop dramatically at night. We have excellent a/c in the lodge, plenty of shade, and we have a pool. We always have electrolyte drinks at the snack table. So the heat was not really an issue for anyone in 2023 -  but we do want people to know in advance about the heat possibilities. 

Is possible high heat for 2024 ok with you? 
Do you need a scholarship? We will do our best!

To apply for a scholarship read the following carefully:

***There are no full scholarships, only partial.*** 

If you need a scholarship, please respond below with the answer to this question: How much of a $$ scholarship do you need (based on your lodging choice)? 

(2024 ticket prices: $ 910 - Two room cabins per person; $ 740 - One room cabin per person; $ 600 - Tent per person) 

Note - no full scholarships.

Can you donate to Mad Camp? Every donation makes a difference! And do you want to personally donate to sponsor someone with a scholarship? Let us know and donate at the Stripe link on the website. (Yeah yeah we already asked this but it's important!) 
Would you like to complete some additional bonus ad-on questions about your... magical abilities? (Does not affect ticket lottery or scholarship eligibility we promise.)
