HACKERCAMP

HackerCamp is where tech geeks and wilderness lovers meet for an awesome offline adventure. Think of it like a mini hacking conference… but with more fire and no presenters.

Get ready for hacking challenges, lock picking, cryptography, knot tying, primitive fire-starting (the O.G. Hot Tech), and maybe even a lively discussion around the fire about "VIM vs Nano vs Emacs" (just kidding). Expect the unexpected.

Calling them workshops and sessions might be a little overzealous. We’ll have activities for everything from wilderness survival skills to analog circuits. You’ll leave camp either an apex survivor or at least know how to social engineer people into believing it.

Nope! No experience required. We’ll teach you everything from fire-starting to social engineering. Whether you’re a total newbie or a seasoned hacker, we’ve got something for you.

Absolutely! We’ve got challenges for all levels. We’ll teach you everything you need to know (and maybe a few tricks you didn't want to learn). There are no age restrictions, but minors must be accompanied by a guardian. HackerCamp is for everyone.

We get it, not everyone dreams in binary. For uninitiated analog souls and algorithmically challenged, there's plenty to enjoy. There will be a games table, craft/kids table, socializing by the campfire, Twin Creeks (fishing if you have a license), and there is even talk of a group hike.

You made it this far into the website and this is your question?!? Just for you: link.

The price includes the entire weekend of hacking, learning, and socializing. Just don’t expect Wi-Fi – we're all about digital survival, not streaming Netflix.

Absolutely! If you’re bringing the whole crew (your immediate family, of course), we offer a family rate of $50.

The $5 tent fee or $20 RV fee covers your spot in the wilderness. It’s like a VIP parking pass for your tent or RV, but in the great outdoors.

Yes, until 15 days before the event. After that you can always transfer your registration to someone else and live vicariously through their campfire stories.

There are vault toilets. No showers. So, if you like nature smells, you’re in for a treat.

Yes, designated fire locations only! No one wants to be known as the firebug that killed HackerCamp.

Spoiler: there are no power outlets. But hey, that’s the point, right? Bring a power bank and embrace the outdoors. Pro-tip: Multi-port chargers = friend-makers.

Yes, just make sure your furry friend is on a leash at all times—some campers are allergic. Also, according to the campsite rules, horses don't count as pets.

If you’re a “glamper” (we don’t judge), there are hotels in Scipio and Salina, about 20 minutes away. Just don’t tell anyone you’re not roughing it in the wilderness, or we might revoke your “camping cred.”

No Sherpa needed. The campground is 19 miles south of Scipio, Utah, from I-15, take US-50 south out of Scipio for 15.1 miles and then turn west on county road 3300 (Maple Grove). (39.016754, -112.089732)

Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to driving. We don't want to resort to Tetris, but with cars.

There are spots at the campsite. When campground spots fill up, there's overflow parking just outside the entrance. It's a slightly longer walk, but hey, extra steps means more guilt-free s'mores later.

Yes, Scipio and Salina are about 20 minutes away. Think of them as your tech-free, supply-run lifelines when you need more marshmallows.

Sadly, public transportation is a no-go. However, if you can afford to take an Uber that far, please remember we are always looking for sponsors. Otherwise, you’ll have to rely on your trusty car or your carpool buddies.

You're kidding right? Charge in Scipio/nearby beforehand. But who knows, maybe it could be a solar HackerCamp project idea for future?!?

Follow basic wilderness safety, stay hydrated, and watch out for wildlife (they're mostly acorn fans, not hacker-haters).

Yes, we’ll have first-aid kits available. But if you manage to hurt yourself trying to hack a S'more, we might need to rethink your strategies.

As far as we know Caesars "security staff" will not be attending HackerCamp.

If the weather turns bad, we’ll send out updates. But hey, hacking in the rain sounds like an adventure, right? Pack for all weather!
