Camp Yampire: Life Imitating Art

Camp Yampire: Life Imitating Art

Indoors this Memorial Day weekend? Experience a virtual camp-themed weekend like no other at Camp Yampire! We're combining Zoom and Topia.io from May 29th-31st to celebrate art in all its beautiful forms at Camp Yampire: Life Imitating Art! Learn, move, play, create, and listen to live music with campers from around the world, hosted by Yam, Pie, and amazing guest camp counselors who have donated their time and talent to bring some free creativity and inspiration to your weekend. All "Zoomed" out in 2021? No worries, come join us in our virtual art gallery space on Topia - happening simultaneously with our sessions on Zoom - and chat, view art, and relax with fellow campers nearby thanks to spatial audio and video! After exploring on Topia, pop back to zoom anytime to catch an art-themed session from our excellent community of talented and knowledgeable guest camp counselors at Camp Yampire: Life Imitating Art! Camp Yampire is open to all ages but was created for adults and has many elements of traditional summer camp - activities range from painting, baking, video games, workouts, and language classes, to easy crafts, live music, happy hours and self-care sessions, trivia nights, scavenger hunts, glow dance parties, e-smores, and more! Self-isolation and social distancing are still very much a thing for 2021, and we've got your back. Treat Camp Yampire like a festival, with multiple workshops and sessions going on in Zoom breakout rooms at the same time - visit any or all, and stay as long as you'd like. We will have party games all weekend, as well as a studio shared space to work on your art in the company of fellow campers. Your camp counselors, Yam & Pie, are online from 4PM-12AM EDT on Saturday, 4PM-10PM EDT on Sunday, and 4PM-8PM EDT on Monday, with a new activity to immerse yourself in every half-hour. This Memorial Day weekend, there are 80 free, fun, and family-friendly things to do on Zoom & Topia! Our main events for Camp Yampire: Life Imitating Art: - 24 Hour Filmmaking Challenge - BIPOC Poetry Salon - Surrealist Art Gallery Opening - S.T.A.G.E.
