event FB : Pirate Summer Camp 2017
Ahoi Pirates,
We are happy to announce the third Pirate Summer event to be held this year at the beginning of august in Piotrowice Nyskie, Poland. It is the opportuninty for individual pirates to spend some vacations together, to get know each other better and to foster international cooperation.
Everybody is welcome to contribute their content to the Pirate Summer - be it a workshop, a session, a lecture, a hackathon, a music jam or anything else that could be relevant to pirates, or is just fun (how about offering a hike along the Czech-Polish border, or a tournament of MtG?)
The location of the camp is the same as in the last two years - an old palace from the twelwth century, that was bought some years ago by a family that is restoring it to its former shape since then. Overall there are 5 hectar grounds with multiple buildings, barns, a big number of large rooms for meetings, a pond (what is left from the medivial moat), farm animals, dogs, cats - in total 250 pirates can fit in. There are rooms in the palace and adjustings buildings for up to 25 people, possibility to camp in a tent (indoors or outdoors), or shared dormitory rooms in the former storage buildings.
We will offer half board catering and also child care (if enough families with children will join us), so that we can have a vacation together and you should bring your family with you.

If there will be more then 10 children registered for the event, we will organize a care person / kids animation for no additional charge, so that the adults would have more time to hang out busy with « adult stuff » or be kids again unobserved.

It is allright to come to only for a part of the summer camp, but the rooms in the palace are given with the preference to the people who are coming for the whole time. You can pay in cash when you arrive at the pirate summer camp.
FAQ:
Q: Is there any fears of zombie attack?
A: Quite possibly. As this event takes place in August and the future is uncertain, we will have specifically designated shelter areas and also runners. You will be randomly paired with someone who you should hope is a slower runner than you are.
Q: I am not a Member of a Pirate Party, can I still come?
A: Sure. If you can imagine spending your vacation with people who are, you are welcome.
Q: Is there Internet?
A: Is this a kind of a philosofical question? There is WiFi in parts of the main building. One of our projects that we have conducted during the first Pirate Summer (in 2015) was to install a meshed wifi infrastructure (aka Freifunk) to distribute the internet over the compound.
