Volunteer ShantyTown

 

Volunteer ShantyTown, as it has been know for the past two years, is our evolving iteration of a combined team effort into the arcane art of ghetto glamping. With combined efforts and equipment, we create a micro-town with enough amenities that the camp crew can focus on the tasks of set-up, event and takedown, while having a great, relaxing, comfortable camp to unwind at. Power, light, hot and cold water, shade structure and seating are all provided by the core crew, and everyone lends a hand maintaining throughout the week.

We also help function as a centralized meeting area for communication and coordination during the event to help the different production crews get the help and people-power they need. Off-hours there's always a mellow party going on, as well. For Setup, we'll have "drive-in" movie nights as well, weather permitting. On Saturday, we will once again host our (now 4th) Annual Low Country Boil, a seafood boil open to all as long as the food and beer lasts. We're especially accepting of first-time volunteers, as many of us first met and became good friends over the course of previous PEX SF setup teams. In fact, this SummerFest setup was where the camp was first conceived, 4 summers ago.
