Camp

\begin{CampDiscussion}

[BOB]:

  • Why is UCC paying for UniSFA's camp?
  • Incredibly rare for camps to make profit
  • Camp isn't targeting UCCans as there is no LAN
  • UCC camps started going downhill because they are overregulated
  • Examples given:
    • Regulations on alcohol
    • Excessive number of student leaders/etc in charge
  • Space might have enough room for a LAN
  • Recommends committee checks out Ern Haliday in person

[MVP]:

  • UniSFA has an existing booking for the end of the year
  • Understanding that the offer was made in goodwill
  • Camp can make money
  • Camp can offer social connection for people who have missed out
  • There is a cross-over in the member base
  • Joint camp is not specifically one way or another
  • Good opportunity to experiment
  • UniSFA and Unigames have run successful camps
  • Itinerary of events has been drafted

[MPT]:

  • There was never going to be a 2020 camp
  • Partly based on pandemic
  • Also due to losses in previous years
  • Would like to see a 2021 UCC camp that is our own
  • Does not have to be in exclusion of this joint camp
  • Alcohol does have a scheduled time, as with food

Conclusion:

  • Campmittee to follow up on whether there is actually room to fit a few compys at camp for LAN
  • Advertising to happen soon also
  • We can make it work!
  • Is a good opportunity for people who have been starved of events and social time

\end{campdiscussion}
