camp dnp AMERICA EDITION BRO

it is that time of the year, my friends, it is time to select dates for the second annual camp dan and phil winter! please vote here for the dates you are available and would want to attend the camp - you can select multiple.

we’re very excited for this year and can’t wait to get the planning started!

i don’t know if the american camp has happened (i’m not american so i can’t participate) but there will be no american camps after that one.

hello all!

so in the three years that we have hosted and organised camp dan and phil, lots of people have wanted more of the camp. which we think is great, we’re so happy you people have found friends because of this event and find it so fun that you’d want to do it multiple times throughout the year. because that is what people have wanted, we’ve delivered and done more camps. first one for winter 2019, then spring 2019 and now there’s talk about spinoff camps pretty much all the time. people request new ideas and versions of the camp pretty much every week and many of you want to help hosting the event as well.

and while we think it’s great that so many of you are so enthusiastic, we feel that doing this many camps ruins the magic and the point of the event. so we’ve decided to limit the amount of camps we’re going to do every year to just two.

what this was originally going to be was a way for bored people to find friends and be creative during the summer season, and for two years that was all it was. people did ask for a winter camp the first and second time too, which i said no to, as again, i wanted this to be a summer thing only and figured it would be too much work to organise something like this during the holidays and school year. then in year 2, another group of people offered to host a winter camp, which i said yes to because people wanted it and what’s the harm in more fun right!

(disclaimer: winter camp was great, and so was spring camp. this is not criticising the organisers or the participants of those camps; it’s the future we’re here to talk about.)

it’s also about the work of the admins. all of this takes a long time to do, and when you spend that much time doing something multiple times a year, it gets boring after a while. we want to be able to create the best possible event for you, and if we do too many that’s just not going to be possible. as well as the stress factor of constantly having to come up with new activities and ideas, we hope you can understand our side from it as well.

brook and i have discussed what we want to do with the camp next and we’ve come to the conclusion that limiting campdnp to one summer camp and one winter camp would be the best solution. that way we won’t get burnt out from doing too many of them, the magic will still be there for the people that are interested in participating and we can be as creative and engaged as possible.

we’ve also decided to change up the way the admins work. when winter comes around, we’ll select a new team of ten people who will remain admins for as long as they like. if somebody drops out before a camp, we’ll host new applications to fill in that spot. this is because we don’t want the role ‘admin’ to be a privilege or a cool title, it’s (more or less) a job and if you decide to apply, that means you’re willing to do that job. we don’t want people thinking that the selection of admins is a popularity contest, the things that weigh the most when selecting is time, experience and engagement and if we stick with the same admins, we’ll know the people who apply have just that.

we understand some people may be upset about this conclusion, but please do not send us any rude messages or asks. this is for everyone’s best, not just ours. if you have any questions you can send us an ask or contact me and brook personally, but again, please keep a friendly tone as we are teenagers who genuinely want everyone’s best.

thank you so much for reading and we look forward to this winter!
