Introduction Camp (30th of August until the 1st of September)

Your introduction week is not complete without an introduction camp. This is why, following the VU introduction days we, study association Gyrinus natans, are organizing three fun-filled days in which you get the chance to get to know your fellow students even better and of course get to know our beautiful association and what we have to offer you.
So what can you expect?

Our Enthusiastic Gyrinus members have committed themselves to fill these three days (30th of August – 1st of September) with loads of activities and games meant for you guys to get to know each other and form new friendships. Our cooking squad will be providing delicious breakfasts and dinners and our bar crew will be at your service 24/7 to serve you beer and wine (and soda of course), which comes in handy because our Technical committee and mentors will be at the turntables playing music day and night.
And obviously with music comes a party and one evening this party will have a fun theme, still to be announced.
Another fun evening will be the open mic night, so think about a nice act you and your friends can perform!
Where we are going and what exactly we will be doing will remain a secret for now but we will promise you one thing: it will be a camp you will never forget.

To help the people who are joining us on camp we made a packing list.

– Enough clothes for hot weather, for cold weather, for rainy weather
– Clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty
– Underwear
– Umbrella
– Swimwear
– Sportswear
– Rain gear
–  Clothes for party (TBA)
– Toiletries
– Shower supplies
– Sleeping bag
– Pillow
– A sheet for your bed
– Towels
– A plate, a cup, a mug, and cutlery
– Dishcloth
– Flashlight
– Should you have a fantastic idea for the open mic night than you can also already bring some stuff you could use!
– Everything that you might think has an added value to this camp. Think about your fantastic beer cap collection that already contains eighteen different beer caps, a huge bottle of Bonomel of no less than one liter or a stapler with no more and no less than 7.3 staples.
However, these are all just ideas..
