Campus1477 toghether with University Chaplaincy and Student Health Services at Uppsala University invite students to spend the night outdoors in a hammock. This is a perfect opportunity for you who want to try it for the first time, or if you have done it before and want some company.
Together with University Chaplain Karin Borg, who has many years of experience sleeping outdoors throughout the year, and Jens Lindquist, Coordinator for Student Sports at Student Health Services at Uppsala University, you now have the opportunity to join us in the forest for a magical night in a hammock. We leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind for a night in the forest.
You do not need to have spent the night outdoors before, but it is good if you have some experience of being out in the woods and countryside.
You will be driven to a nearby forest area where we will set up camp, start a fire and rig the hammocks for the night. In the morning, we will prepare breakfast over the fire, pack up and return home by lunchtime at the latest.
You can borrow a hammock and tarp (tent fabric) and some more stuf, but you will need to provide the rest of the equipment yourself – see information about equipment on Campus1477's website. If you don't have your own equipment or can't borrow it from a friend, you can probably find most of what you need at Fritidsbanken.
Bear in mind that ticks may have become active at this time of year, so it may be a good idea to get vaccinated against TBE. However, this is not a requirement for participation, only a recommendation.
Maximum 7 participants. Registration by 7 October using this form.
