About

We're into Helium karaoke and banana crafting workshops, and our idea of sex-positivity is: sexy teeth brushing competitions!

Despite our name we're no astrology camp: "Mercurial Retrogrades" refers to the optical illusion of the planet Mercury, when viewed from Earth, seemingly reverting its path of movement backwards. Which to us means: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

More specifically, we aim for:

  • a camp size of about 25 people
  • contributing to Nowhere fun workshops and art
  • manageable workloads (it's hot enough as it is)
  • (pragmatically balanced) radical inclusion of weirdoes and weaklings
  • a flat hierarchy where everyone's encouraged to take on one lead role
  • productive failure: Yes, We Can't!
