The camp is for university students already involved or wanting to get involved in the Plant-Based Universities campaign. Those who are passionate about climate justice, animal freedom, and food system change. Whether this is your first Plant-Based Unis event or have been campaigning for years - you’re very welcome.

The camp will take place at Zeltplatz Alpha One, Pferdeweg 2, 31787 Hameln, Germany - a beautiful outdoor campsite near forests and rivers. The site hosts many small festivals so is well equipped for our camp, with access to toilet and shower facilities, and large marquee tents for the workshops. The nearest major station is Hannover Hbf.

The programme starts at 18:00 on Friday 15th August, and will be finished by 12:00 on Tuesday 19th August. The camp is open for people to arrive from 16:00 on Thursday 14th August and we ask everyone attending to arrive by 16:00 on Friday 15th.

Groups are travelling in from across Europe — including the UK, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, and more. After signing up, we’ll connect you with others coming from your country so you can coordinate and travel together. Check out the travel page for more info and the journey map.

We’ve got a shared fund to help cover travel costs for those who need it. If money’s tight, we’ve got you. Once you’ve signed up, a friendly organiser will get in touch and can chat through how we can support you. No stress, no hoops. Learn more on the travel page.

You’ll need to bring your own tent, sleeping bag and camping gear — but don’t worry if you don’t have everything! There’ll be a form to let us know if you need to borrow any kit, and we’ll help coordinate gear sharing. 

Yes - there are toilets and hot showers on site. 

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided throughout the camp. All meals will be fully plant-based and cooked fresh on site. Once you’ve signed up, we’ll ask you to fill in a firm about any dietary needs and allergies so everyone is catered for.

The campsite is mostly flat and step-free, but it can get muddy if it rains. We’re committed to doing what we can to make the camp welcoming and accessible for everyone - even though we know this can be challenging given the nature of the camp. If you have specific access needs, there’s space to let us know after signing up, and someone from the team will be in touch. We’ll do our best to support you and make any reasonable adjustments. 

Absolutely! Loads of people come on their own, and we’ll have a homegroup system to make sure everyone feels connected right from the start. We’ll also try to connect you with an in-person event near you before the camp so you will know some familiar faces!

Homegroups are small groups you’ll check in with each morning and evening — a space to share reflections, chat through learnings, and make close connections. 

The camp is free to attend thanks to the donations of people who support our mission.
