CouchSurfers are getting ready to attend the Berlin Beach Camp 2007 which goes from Thursday May 24th 2007 until Monday May 28th. It has been organised by Michael Habermann (http://www.couchsurfing.com/miicoo) via his website (http://www.happy-traveller.de).
The Berlin Beach Camp is not officially affiliated with any hospitality exchange network. However, it does tend to draw a majority of participants from Hospitality Club and a large minority from CouchSurfing, along with members from smaller hospitality exchange organisations. Thus, it is an ideal occasion to ignore "hospitality exchange branding" and just have lots of fun with like-minded people.
The program will consist of 4 days of fun activities including city walking tours, sports games, movie screenings and dancing. There'll even be a Free Hugs Campaign, organised by Couchsurfer Aaron Schultz (http://www.couchsurfing.com/profile.html?id=1EIN30U).
The campsite is called “Strandbad Grünau” (Sportpromenade 9, 12527 Berlin), a beautiful scenic area of Berlin’s southeast. The location has been rented exclusively for this occasion and boasts of a white sandy beach and a crystal clear lake, right in front of the camp. Accommodation is by way of camping or laying sleeping bags in the dormitory. Each participant is expected to pay 5 euros per night or 15 euros for all 4 nights.
As of writing, over 800 people have signed up for this gathering.
