Camp-A-Palooza
Looking for adventure and new friends in There? Grab your backpack and join the Thereian community for Camp-A-Palooza! This Springtime event runs from March 15th – April 5th. Each week a new camping location is revealed and hikers race to find the campsite with the best grounds and views. Do you have what it takes to survive in the There wilderness?
Every seasoned camper knows that preparation for the trip is very important. In addition to making sure you have the proper camping gear, you will also need to purchase a PAZ to set your camp up in. Each week you will pick up your PAZ and drop it at the new camping location.
Join other campers each Tuesday night at the Camp-A-Palooza Info Booth before heading over to the new campsite. The gathering starts at 7:00 PM PT/10:00 PM ET. Click here to sign up for the second week of Camp-A-Palooza. If you are not able to attend the event, you can always stop by the Info Booth and grab the posted link to the new location.

For each week a camper participates and drops a PAZ at the campsite, they will be entered into a dice roll for the chance to win some awesome prizes. There are also tons of fun camping activities and events throughout the week for you to enjoy and meet new friends.
Camp-A-Palooza is a member-run event. You can help support its continued success by buying special Camp-A-Palooza merchandise. Look for other fundraising information at the Info Booth.
