The Hideout Pop-Up: Camp Olympics
Sat, Jul 11, 1:30 PM## **What are The Hideout Pop-Ups?** āThe Hideout Pop-Ups are small, one-day ways to step into The Hideout world without disappearing for a whole camp weekend. āThis includes games, creative chaos, new people, and a few hours where nobody needs to be productive. āThe full camp returns in summer 2027. Until then, weāre opening a few smaller doors into the world. Want the full version? Get on the Summer 2027 waitlist [here](https://tally.so/r/WOAzVP?utm_source=luma). ## āCamp Olympics āTime to go outside, form a team, and care far too much about an egg on a spoon. āCamp Olympics is an afternoon of classic field-day games for adults: three-legged races, hula hoop challenges, team cheers, water-based chaos, silly relays, and a final tug-of-war if the park gods allow it. * āYou do not need to be sporty. * āYou do not need to arrive with a team. * āYou do not even need to think of yourself as competitive. āBut there will be a scoreboard, so I cannot promise what will happen to you emotionally. āCome alone or bring a friend. Weāll mix the teams on the day, give everyone a name tag, and ease into The Hideout world before the games begin. āYour ticket includes all game materials, team setup, snacks, water, tiny prizes, and a fully hosted afternoon of extremely unserious competition. ## āCommon Questions ā**Do I need to be good at sports?** āAbsolutely not. This is for people who loved sports day, hated sports day, or mostly remember sports day as the occasion when someone gave them a juice box. āThe games are simple, low-pressure, and designed so that enthusiasm, teamwork, and questionable strategy matter just as much as athletic ability. ā **Can I come alone?** āYes. A lot of people do. āTeams will be mixed on the day, and weāll start with a small Hideout check-in so nobody is left standing around wondering who to talk to. ā **Can I come with friends?** āAlso yes. You can arrive together, but you may be split across teams depending on numbers. āTemporary rivalry is part of the experience. Your friendship will probably survive. ā**What should I wear?** āClothes you can move in and shoes that can handle grass, dirt, or mild chaos. āBring sunscreen, water, and whatever helps you feel comfortable outside in July. ā **What if it rains?** āA little summer weather will not stop us, but heavy rain or unsafe conditions might. āIf we need to change or postpone the event, ticket holders will be contacted directly. ## āThe Plan ā**15:30 ā Step into The Hideout world** Arrival, check-in, name tags, and team sorting ā**16:00 ā Let the games begin** Camp-style games, silly relays, and suspiciously serious competition ā**18:45 ā Tiny awards + Proof You Were Here** Very official recognition, group photo, and final team glory ā**19:00 ā Official end** Optional drink or picnic hangout nearby afterwards ā The exact meeting point in Treptower Park will be shared with ticket holders before the event. ā **The only real rule:** Have fun, cheer for strangers, and do not leave anyone awkwardly standing alone. āYou do not have to be good at anything. ā**You just have to be game.**

Evening Walk at Treptower Park ā After Work Pilgrims
Wed, Jul 22, 4:00 PM**After Work Pilgrims: Walk with intention.** Berlin is demanding, and the day was long.
