Reflect. Resist. Reclaim the Future.
A camp for people organized in Search and Rescue, flight, no-borders, decolonization & migration, as well as everyone connected to these struggles.
September 04. – 07.2025
10 Years of Solidarity & Resistance – Search & Rescue
We invite people with experiences of displacement, activists and allies to share experiences, reflect on our political strategies, learn from each other, and shape the next chapter in this movement.
For ten years, we’ve been fighting for civilian sea rescue, freedom of movement, and fundamental rights for all.
This anniversary is rooted in the broader struggle that emerged powerfully during the Summer of Migration – standing in solidarity with people on the move, resisting the deadly fortress Europe, and fighting for a future without borders, but with justice and solidarity.
This Camp is for You if…
- You’re active in sea rescue, solidarity work or support networks for people on the move
- You fight for freedom of movement and no borders.
- You are a person with lived experience of flight, migration, or seeking asylum and want to connect, share, and organize.
- You are engaged in anti-racist, decolonial, or migrant justice work.
- You are not organized yet, but are interested to join the struggles.
- You want to shape the next decade together.
Exchange. Learn. Organize. Whatever people want and can contribute will happen at the camp. It’s a participatory camp.

Accommodation & Facilities
Do I have to sleep in a tent or camper?
Not necessarily! While many people camp, we’ll provide limited indoor sleeping spaces or accessible alternatives — contact us if you need one.
What should I bring with me?
Bring weather-appropriate clothes, camping gear (tent, sleeping bag and mat…), , any meds you need, a towel for the sauna and things that make you feel comfortable.
Will there be an option to shower?
There is a lake at site, perfect for swimming and bathing. A few additional outdoor showers will be at the campsite.
Transportation & Getting There
How do I get to the camp? Is there public transport?
Yes, the camp is reachable by public transport. We’ll share detailed directions and options via mail after your registration. We will also provide shuttles between the train station and the camp.
Can I come by car or van? Are there parking spots?
There will be limited parking available. You can come with your van/car if you sleep in it, otherwise we encourage you to come with public transport, as we can’t guarantee for a parking spot. We encourage carpooling if possible!
Tickets & Costs
I only want to come for one day — do I still need to pay for a full ticket?
Generally we’d be happy to see you stay for the whole weekend in order to have the full experience of exchange and network building, so there’s no “One-Day”-Ticket. But of course you can come later or leave earlier. If so, you can write us and we can give you a voucher, so you don’t have to pay the full price.
I can’t afford the Soli-Ticket — can I still come?
Yes. We suggest a sliding scale contribution, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Accessibility involves financial access. If you can‘t afford it, just let us know — we’ll make it work.
Will food be provided?
Yes, we’ll have a kitchen crew supported by all of us offering vegan meals. Food and water is included in the ticket price. If you want to bring your own food, you are welcome to get a cheaper ticket via the ticket portal.
In addition, you can get coffee and other drinks at the bar. So, bring some cash for that 😉
Families & Children
Can I bring children?
Yes! Children are welcome. Please let us know during the registration for ticketing, how many children you will bring, so we can plan for food and childcare, as we will provide both on site. Children above the age of 14 will need a ticket for themselves.
Workshops & Program
In what language will the workshops be held?
Each person giving a workshop can do it in their preferred language, with translation available for some sessions. Here we are counting on your help. So let us know your language skills as well as needs during the registration for the ticketing.
