thanks for the feedback on the website. here’s the explanation we gave on the manifest announcement post:
In the week between LessOnline and Manifest, come hang out at Lighthaven with other attendees! Cowork and share meals during the day, attend casual workshops and talks in the evening, and enjoy conversations by the (again, literal) fire late into the night.
Summer Camp will be pretty lightweight: we’ll provide the space and the tools, and you & your fellow attendees will bring the discussions, workshops, tournaments, games, and whatever else you’re excited about organizing.
Here are the types of events you’ll see at Summer Camp:
Hackathons (or “Forecastathons”)
Organized discussions and workshops
Jam sessions and dance parties
Games of all kinds: social deception games, poker, MTG, jackbox, etc.
Campy activities: sardines, s’mores, singalongs
Multi-day intensive workshops, e.g. a CFAR-style workshop or a Quantitative Trading Bootcamp (Note: these may come at some extra cost, TBD by the organizers)
Do you have a sense for what the week of SummerCamp will be like? I have taken the week off from my (completely remote-friendly) job, do you think there’ll be enough going on that this is the right move (vs spending some time working)? Or is it really hard to say until we’re there?
For a bit more context, I am flying in from Australia for LessOnline/SummerCamp/Manifest. I’ll be staying at Lighthaven for the whole period of the three events. I have enough leave to take the whole period, but I try to use my leave as parsimoniously as possible so if coworking from Lighthaven for some of the week is possible whilst still soaking up the summer camp vibes / feeling present, I’d probably do that.
Seems to me like there’ll be a lot of options for how much stuff you want to do. I’m expecting someone to run a really fun and educational trading class for a cohort of people, I expect there’ll be a few meetups, there’s over 100 people with tickets for Summer Camp to hang out with, and I think there’ll be like 20-30 people living on-site.
I think if you wanted to work like 2 or 3 days that week you could, and if you wanted to keep socializing and doing activities then you could do that too.
