We have a new site for this year, Koivuniemi camp site in Pori archipelago on the western coast of Finland, with all the essential Cudgel War elements like sauna and swimming.
The event is primarily a camping event, but there are two buildings with a few beds and some limited crash space can be arranged for some additional sleepers. Some indoor space is available for activities if weather becomes less than optimal, and there's a big sauna to warm up in. Some pictures of the site are available at the Koivuniemi homepage.
Three meals are served daily: plentiful breakfast, afternoon snack and hot evening meal (except when replaced by a feast). There's a smaller mid-week feast on Wednesday and a grand feast on the latter Saturday (July 21).
Site: Koivuniemi camp site (Anttoorantie 590), near Pori in Satakunta province in western Finland. The nearest city and airport, Pori, is about 35 km from the site. The distance to Tampere is about 150 km, to Turku about 170 km and to Vaasa about 220 km. There's a frequently run express bus service between Pori city and Helsinki international airport (3.5 hrs) as well as from Tampere center (2 hrs). Pickups can be arranged, but only from Pori railway station and Pori bus station, and even then only if booked by the end of June.
The site opens at noon on Saturday, July 14, and closes at 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 22. Anyone on the site before opening time or after closing time will be considered voluntary work force.
Site rules: The site is "damp". Smoking is only permitted at designated places, pets are only allowed outdoors. Those who get a bed MUST bring sheets and pillow cases, even when sleeping in a sleeping bag. Campfires are allowed at designated fire pits. Should there be a forest fire warning, no other fires (tiki torches, candles on the ground etc.) will be allowed.
Reservations
should be made through
the reservation form.
