DWeb Camp

Made out of tech company t-shirts, this piece is intended to spark conversation and debate about the true cost of free products, and what we give up when we click the “I agree” button without reading the privacy policy.

Too often, we trade our privacy for convenience without fully understanding how our data is being used or sold. At least, I do, all the time. The intent is not to demonize a specific company, rather, to illustrate the normalization of a system where every move we make is being tracked, and our data is sold to the highest bidder.

Share your name, devise a nickname, add a pronoun sticker if you please.
This is a creative way to let people know who you are!

You are now on a 100 acre farm, complete with fields, grow rooms, courtyards and many former farm buildings. Set off on our Scavenger Hunt to help you get familiar with the farm. It's a fun way to figure out which way is North!

You can run but you cannot hide! You'll need all your ninja skills and senses to survive and win this enormous group game of Assassin!  The first 200 Campers who elect to play will be a part of this retreat-long game.  Winners will win some fun prizes, but the real reward is getting to know your fellow Campers in an entirely new way.  Intrigued?  Read on....

"Assassin" Game Rules:
Once arrived, everyone who is present and participating will be given a small rubber duck (about 2 inches big), and assigned the name of a Target to eliminate. This duck acts as both a weapon and a shield. The goal of the game is to find a moment where your Target is not holding their duck (which acts as a shield which protects from being eliminated), and to physically touch them with your own duck (which acts as the assassination weapon). If you are 'assassinated', (touched by the person who is assigned your name while you are not holding your own duck for defense), you are 'out'. If you successfully eliminate your Target, you acquire your Target's assigned Target, and you try to eliminate that new person. The game ends when only one player remains in the game.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
This game is good for DWeb Camp because it encourages people to get to know each other's names, and to join new circles of people in order to gain access to their Target; games have gotten sophisticated, where "information brokers" develop to introduce people to their Target, or trading of Targets when there are insufficient ways to access the Target -- this game is generally lighthearted and good fun. It encourages a little bit of healthy paranoia, which keeps the game interesting.
We will also implement "safe zones" such as anyone presenting or hosting a workshop is immune to elimination during their talk, or "anyone attending a workshop is immune" which would encourage people to participate in more workshops in order to benefit from elimination immunity. Learn the rules at our Opening Circle.  
Then the fun begins!

Come and have fun singing with others!

Hopes & dreams 
Singing together can be a fun, engaging, and meaningful group activity for everyone!

Participation
We will get to know each other and together we will create a welcoming class culture that supports all ages and learning styles. DWeb Camp singers and dancers will be encouraged to express themselves with confidence, poise, and self-esteem. We will work on a few songs, give it our all, and have a good time.

Why participate
Studies show that there are many health benefits to singing. Group singing can improve mood, and decrease stress and anxiety. Most importantly, singing with others is a lot of fun!
