CampJS isn’t a regular conference. It’s time and space to learn new things, relax and really connect. Whether you’re a Javascript veteran, total newbie, into art, music or hardware, there’s something for everyone.
We schedule a unique blend of expert-led content and self-directed learning and encourage attendees to run other activities like bushwalking, drone flying or knitting.
To get a vibe for the event, check out the videos from previous camps or our Twitter page.
We lodge at Broken Bay Sports & Rec Centre.
It is an hours drive north of Sydney, or a train ride to Brooklyn Train Station. We will catch a chartered ferry from the wharf across from the train station that will take us to the retreat.
There will be a chartered ferry that will take everyone to the retreat leaving exactly at 6pm on Friday 30th August from the wharf opposite Brooklyn train station. Despite what Google says you cannot drive to Broken Bay Sport and Rec Centre.
There is only one ferry, so it's important that we reach Brooklyn train station on time and use the time to socialise or visit the local bottleshop to stock up on snacks or drinks before the camp. The parking at the train station is limited so we recommend you to catch a train.
There will be two ferries bringing you back to Brooklyn Train Station. A small ferry will leave Sunday, 1st September at 5pm (to have you back by ~6pm), spots on this ferry are limited. A larger ferry will leave Broken Bay at 10am (Brooklyn by ~11am) on Monday 2nd September. Please book your flights and plan your trip accordingly.
We recommend you use NSW Transport endorsed website https://transportnsw.info/ to plan your trip well in advance.
CampJS values the diversity and inclusion of under-represented and marginalised people in tech.
We work hard to make the camp a friendly and welcoming environment. and do not tolerate discrimination or harrassment of any kind.
You can see the range of initiatives we’re working on, and suggest others on the Github issue tracker for the latest camp.
Diversity tickets can be bought on the Tickets page.
We do our best to make CampJS accessible to all. Our transport and venue providers have accessibility options available including wheelchair accessible buses, ramps, shower chairs and accessible bathrooms.
The venue provides ramps, accessible bathrooms and shower chairs and welcomes guide dogs.
