Berlin Couchsurfing/HospitalityClub/BeWelcome community has something to announce:
Germany’s capital is going to host this year’s WinterCamp - in the tradition of cities like Vilnius (LT) - 2004, Rīga (LV) - 2005, Warszawa (PL) - 2006 and İstanbul (TR) - 2007!!!
Detailed information about the event is on our website www.berlinwintercamp.org
The event will take place from the 28th December 2008 until the early morning hours of the 2nd January 2009 in a location called HomeBase Lounge in the heart of Berlin close to Potsdamer Platz.
As a legal requirement the number of participants of the Berlin WinterCamp will be limited to 450 people.
To make sure the event is not going to be overrun by Berliners only we will reserve 250 tickets for people from abroad, 50 of those for a limited period for people who require a visa.
People can can sign-up & pay via Bank Transfer or a credit or debit card, or by PayPal from now on. This is our temporary procedure while we put the finishing touches to our official website. Once it's on-line, we will direct you that rather than this system. But keep in mind that you will only have a space guaranteed after you have paid the required participation fee. Please make sure that you won’t book your travel ticket until your space at the Camp is guaranteed!!!
Please keep in mind:
People younger than 18 years have to leave the location each night prior to 0:00 o'clock if not
accompanied by a guardian!!!
The participation fee for the 6 days will be 35 € which includes 20 € of free
drinks at the bar:
0,33l Pils: 2,80€;
0.2l Red/White Wine: 3,50€;
0,33l Soft Drinks: 2,50€;
0,25l Mineral Water: 2,-€.
This 20 € is due to the fact
that we don’t need to pay a rent for the location but have to guarantee a
minimum revenue of 9.000 € within the five days.
The hosting of the participants will be done by the Berlin community for which we will set up a system.
Even though we have a limit of 450 people for the location the limit will not necessarily count for activities and workshops outside of HomeBase Lounge.
