THE FUN STUFF:

Some of our twists on traditional day camp activities:

• Arts & Crafts – Get creative with our friends from Chikoko.
• Human Hungry Hippos – Life-sized version of the beloved tabletop game.
• Ropes course – It’s pretty high up, and pretty far out.
• Archery tag – Unleash your inner Katniss in a battle against your friends.
• Rock climbing wall – It’s massive, but you’re fearless, right?
• Keg bowling – Eh, it’s more like “keg chucking,” but you’re still bowling over some pins.
• Human foosball – Start recruiting your team, or draft free agents once you’re there.
• Corn hole – Because this is one of our favorite sports.
• Zorb racing – An outta-this-world human hamster wheel like you’ve never seen.
• GellyBall – Capture the Flag meets paintball, but with soft, water-based beads instead!

MUSIC

Crank the volume in the Little Things Lounge, featuring super talented entertainers providing all the festival vibes.

• Silent Disco DJs: We're excited welcome Jolene, Spretch Magic, DJ Uyes and DJ Trazz back to the silent disco tent!
• Live Karaoke: What summer camp talent shows should’ve been — live band, you behind the mic, and a crowd of fans singing along. Time to hit the stage!

FOOD 

We like tasty bites almost as much as cold craft beers, so expect some awesome culinary creations for purchase.

• Camp Snacks: Check out the can stations inside camp to find on-the-go snacks. (Nobody likes it when you’re hangry.)
• Food Trucks: Local favorites have delicious menus in the works.
• More to come – check out the event website for updates, www.SierraNevada.com/BeerCamp

ZERO WASTE and SUSTAINABILITY

Awesome events, done right — that’s the goal! Every year, we divert more than 90% of the Beer Camp waste away from landfill, and it’s a comprehensive effort:

• Serving our beverages in recyclable vessels such as aluminum cans or reusable tasting glasses. Recycling stations are available throughout the event.
• Partnering with Chico Velo to provide Bike Valet services for avid cyclists or those using alternative forms of transportation.
• Highly encouraging attendees and staff to bring a reusable water bottle from home and providing access to water throughout the event space.
• Requiring all food vendors to use compostable service materials.

This year, help us make Beer Camp a Zero-Waste Event!

• Ride your bike (or scooter, or unicycle) to the festival. We’ll protect it overnight if you need to leave it.
• Crush those cans! Once you’ve finished a beverage, drop it at one of our recycling stations.
• Bring your reusable water bottle and refill it at one of our many “Water Monster” stations.
• Stay tuned for more tips…
