Tasty Tunes (Music / DJ)
It wouldn’t be a Tasty event without music. Please note that there are a lot of DJs in this group. So we’ll do our best to place as many of you as possible.
Themed teepee for the Teepee Crawl
This year we are announcing the teepee crawl theme early so folks have plenty of time to come up with their ideas! “Enchanted Realms” (see details below) – Modest stipends are available to help teepee hosts bring their ideas to life. If you don’t have your idea totally fleshed it’s ok, submit one anyway! Note: If you wait too long to submit your idea, stipends will not be guaranteed after a certain point.
Camp Champs (Volunteers)
Many of you know that Camp Tasty is a community event that is made possible by every single person who volunteers a bit of time. From ambiance and lighting to karaoke and kids activities, we’re putting out our call for Camp Champs to help bring this year’s event to life! Our team captains thank you in advance!
Teepee Theme – Enchanted Realms
We invite you to journey to mystical and mythical lands where magic and wonder are woven into every corner and fairy tales are written. While these may look like teepees from afar, upon closer examination reveal portals to strange, enchanted worlds full of new realities. From lush, hidden forests to underwater kingdoms to sparkling fairy glades, we invite you to conjure up your very own Enchanted Realm, a temporal universe where the laws of logic take a holiday and the surreal becomes real.
Be inspired by AI’s best ideas while we challenge you to do outdo them, including:
- A Whimsical Mushroom Forest where tea parties are held in giant toadstools and giggling pixies play hide-and-seek in the ferns?
- A Cloud Castle floating amidst fluffy cumulus, complete with marshmallow turrets and rainbow slides?
- A Kaleidoscopic Coral Reef where fish wear top hats, seahorses play the ukulele, and octopuses conduct orchestras of singing clams?
- Jack’s Cosmic Beanstalk, where the giant is an alien and the golden eggs are filled with stardust?
- A Land of Eternal Midnight where fireflies illuminate the darkness, and owls deliver invitations to moonlit balls?
- Cinderella’s Punk Rock Ball, where glass slippers are replaced with Doc Martens and the Fairy Godmother is a tattoo artist?
- A Topsy-Turvy Village where houses stand on their chimneys, rivers flow uphill, and cats bark at upside-down dogs?
- A Giant’s Kitchen where pots and pans are the size of hot tubs, and the aroma of freshly baked gingerbread wafts through the air?
- Or perhaps a realm so fantastical that it defies description, a place where the impossible becomes possible, and the absurd becomes the norm?
Let the magic flow as you transform your teepee into an Enchanted Realm that will leave all who enter equally flummoxed and delighted!
The realms await you. ✨
