Here are some of the activities available at this year’s Beer Camp.

Get creative with our friends from Chikoko and leave with a fun trinket to show your friends.

• Human Hungry Hippos – Life-sized version of the beloved tabletop game.
• Human foosball – Start recruiting your team, or draft free agents once you’re there.
• Human Hamster Ball Races – An outta-this-world human hamster wheel like you’ve never seen.

• Ropes course – It’s high up, and far out.
• Rock climbing walls – 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.
• GellyBall – Capture the Flag meets paintball, but with soft, water-based beads instead!

• Corn hole – Because this is one of our favorite sports.
• Lounge stations and Chill Zones – Naptime is back and better than ever.

Crank the volume while enjoying the fun and games with super talented entertainers providing all the festival vibes.

A ton of music to complement your Beer Camp experience

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!

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

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…
