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 500-person event takes over a sprawling venue in Maryland every June.

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. — @pee_zombie

Camping tickets are $470 and cabin tickets are $650, both including meals. Deadline to buy tickets is June 14th.

Who comes to Vibecamp?

The common thread among Vibecampers is being high in openness-to-experience and kind to strangers. Attendees primarily come from a loose network of internet-adjacent communities: rationalists and post-rationalists, EAs, burners, tech folks of various stripes, along with writers, artists, therapists, lurkers, and various offline friends.

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?

A non-exhaustive list from past Vibecamps: workshops on Bayesian reasoning and obscure philosophers, late-night dance parties, circling, theater, art-making, board games, collaborative tarot deck building, pool parties, theremin recitals, pop-up waffle & ramen stations, sunrise yoga, and fireside conversations that outlast the night.

Host something yourself, or come just to 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!

Scenes from Past Camps

We ask that attendees only take photos with consent, so it looks like a ghost town from some of these pictures. But hey, that's part of the mystique, right?

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:
