What is Vibecamp?

Vibecamp is a four-day gathering for curious, creative, openness-loving weirdos — part festival, part unconference, part summer camp for nerdy adults. Founded in 2021, the yearly event takes over a sprawling venue in Maryland every June.

Camping tickets are $470 and cabin tickets are $650, both including meals.

Who comes to Vibecamp?

Vibecampers come from a loose network of internet-adjacent communities — rationalists and post-rationalists, EAs, burners, tech folks of various stripes, writers, artists, therapists, weird Twitter, lurkers, and people who’ve never heard of any of those things. The common thread is more being high in openness-to-experience and kind to strangers than it is what social scenes you're part of.

Worried you’ll be the weirdest one there? Extremely unlikely. You’ll be competing with the guy who comes dressed as a penguin handing out cans of sardines, and no fewer than four people who play theremins.

Don’t know anyone going? Many first-timers don’t. The Discord is the easiest way in — lurk, ask questions, or just show up ready to make friends.

What might you actually do?

Past Vibecamps have included: workshops on Bayesian reasoning and obscure philosophers, late-night dance parties, circling and somatic sessions, theater productions, art-making, board games, collaborative tarot deck building, pool parties, theremin recitals, pop up waffle & ramen stations, sunrise yoga, and fireside conversations that last until the sun starts coming up.

You’re welcome to host something yourself — but you don’t have to. Plenty of people come just to attend, wander, and see what unfolds.

at vibecamp, you might encounter someone explaining the fourier transform on a flip chart, consensual waterboarding, a pool party and see a guy interviewing people with his portable podcast setup — all in the span of like 60 seconds. you couldn't make this shit up

What's that you say? Vibecamp has explainer posts now?

Indeed we do! We know most of you won't look at these, but for the minority of people who love to read everything, we're working on having materials available. We'll continue adding to these over time, and have a few more posts we're working on that should be live soon. Would you like to write your own explainer post, or write a better version of one of these? Reach out to brooke@vibe.camp, we'd love to have your help!

Safety

Vibecamp has a newly-formed Safety Council, comprised of people with a wide range of backgrounds, from security to medical. Much more info will be added to the website in the coming days, but for now, if there's someone you think we should know about, we encourage you to submit a report:

Note: we will continue to have paid medics stationed outside of the Teahouse (near the pool) every night.

Still have questions?

A few of the most common ones from first-timers:

Will I fit in?
What if I don’t know anyone?
Can I bring my kid?
Is there wifi or cell service?
Are there low-income tickets? (yes — 45% off Basic tickets)

to no one's surprise, vibecamp was an outlier-excellent time & a major inflection point on my journey along multiple dimensions, the names of which I'm still determining. i spent way too long denying I wanted to go & am grateful to those of you who lambasted me into it

yeah one time i went to this festival thing on a whim and now I'm living in an attendee's house taking other attendees camping this weekend hiring other attendees for work and dating another attendee, my advice: stay away
