Winter Camp 2018!

It’s time again to sign up for the ÅSV winter camp. Like last year, we are aiming big!

• The 2018 winter camp will once again be held in Riishytten, Østerhovedvej 47, 7323 Give.
• The winter camp will run for four days, from 4 pm on Wednesday, January 24nd, to roughly 2 pm on Sunday the 28th of January.
• We are again eager to have some of our P4I and Aortas friends participate, and we hope just as many will attend this year.

Workshop sessions

Like last year, we'll be offering some workshop sessions in English. Send an email to Lars at larsg@me.com if you would like to share your knowledge with the rest of the participants.

Sleeping arrangements

The cabin is 430 square meters, sleeping 36 people and otherwise accommodating 14–18 cowriting teams. There are 6 rooms with four beds, 3 with two beds, and 1 with six beds, as well as a kitchen, 2 lounges, a dining room and at least 3 rooms in the basement. We limit the number of attendees to 32 to make sure there is room enough.

We will provide linen for foreign participants. We can also arrange to lend you an instrument if you're coming from abroad and don't want to risk (or pay for) bringing your own.

Price

We’ve worked hard to keep down the price down. For people living abroad, the price is €100 or £90, which includes 2018 membership in ÅSV.

Registration

Songwriters from abroad can register by sending an email to Lars at larsg@me.com.  (Danish and Swedish residents should sign up at the bottom of the page, where you can also see who else is coming.) Registration is first come, first served, and you are not officiallly registered until you have sent Lars a copy of your flight tickets. The fee is non-refundable, but note that payment can wait till your arrival, so that we can avoid enriching the banks unnecessarily with unnecessary transfer fees.

Transportation

If you’re flying, the Billund airport (BLL) is quite close. We will arrange to pick you up at the airport. The Aarhus airport (AAR) is another possibility, esp. if you want to spend time in Aarhus before or after camp (we promise to show you a good time). Email your arrival and departure times to Lars at larsg@me.com.

For the Danes, there will probably be a lot of people driving, and hopefully we can bring most people to the site by carpooling. Otherwise there are trains to Horsens and Vejle, and busses from there to Riis. We will pick up people from the bus stop, which is otherwise only a 1.5-km walk away.

Agenda

The agenda for the camp is loose, with no obligatory events on the schedule. We will adjust the programme once we arrive.

Wednesday 16-? We will make spaghetti with meat sauce, eat, get acquainted, play music, and pick up people from the airport and bus stop.
