UCC's annual camp in 2015 will be its fifth year running since the last hiatus. Let's see if all this experience pays off and we can pull off another awesome camp!
See past camp information: Historical Information and Planning
What is Camp?
Let's put a whole heap of computer nerds in one place for a weekend and see what happens! We'll make sure there's non-sucky internet, the rest is up to the people attending. LANning will definitely happen, but there will also be some people there who are doing hardware/software hacking and coding. Besides that, it's just a great chance to meet some like-minded people and network.
Camp organisers this year want your feedback from what you want to happen at camp!
Whether you have attended one previously and have feedback on what can be improved or just want to suggest your favourite game to play, fill out the survey and we will try to include them this year.
