camp details
NO FEAR camp is a tent-based Biblical Camp of Courage.
And why do I need this camp, you may ask?
So that you can participate in your own life, rather than watching it from the spectator’s seats. When fear dominates your life, you end up dreading what others might think, worrying about financial risks, and hesitating to change jobs or move to another country and it all boils down to you standing still and having a life as exciting as watching paint dry. And worst of all: you aren’t even the one making all those decisions, your fear is doing it for you.
After all, not making a decision is a decision in itself.
Do you want to LIVE? Like, really live?
Do you want to live your life, rather than just be an audience member at a theatre play?
If you answered “oh, yeah!”, then great! NO FEAR Camp is the perfect place for you. It’ll be funny, it’ll be interesting, there’ll be no ties or sticks up our asses, there definitely won’t be any boredom and to make use of those sticks we’ll use them to chase away the fears!
All of this in English, because everything is simpler and cooler in English. It’s easier to have fun and to sing.
why “Biblical”?
Because we’re a group of friends for which God is an important part of life.
What unites us is that we see Christianity in a simple, down-to-earth way: as building a personal relationship with God and following Jesus in practice. We read the Bible, talk about it, and reflect on how it relates to our daily lives.
Because this way of life has brought us so much joy, we now have a natural desire to share it with others.
What do we provide?
a place for your tent (⛺️ which you must bring yourself)
daily challenges to build courage
water – hot, cold, whatever floats your boat
a less-than-appealing restroom
a camping shower, so you don’t start to stink after seven days
richly decorated toilet paper
pots and a fire beneath them, you can conduct countless culinary experiments in them
electricity for those who can’t live without their phone
a campfire perfect for sausages
boards, nails, string, tools, tape, etc.
workshops where we’ll learn to read Braille using Morse code, draw/paint/sculpt, play sports, go on sightseeing trips, and practice survival skills – for those interested, a night in the woods with our camp fox. (🌌>🌲&🦊)
What are we going to do?
NO FEAR camp is not a survival camp (although there will be some survival activities for those who want them!), so there’ll be no eating grasshoppers or making coffee from morning dew, but we’ve got plenty of other things planned that are just as interesting.
The activities we are planning are:
speaking lots of English
making friends indeed (since we are in the need of a shower)
enjoying life, summer, sunshine, and rain (because everyone can afford that)
playing, singing, humming, clapping or purring
asking questions (unlimited)
talking about life, God, relationships, artificial intelligence, real stupidity, girls, and boys
What to bring?
Pretty much definitely
tent
you can bring a tent just for yourself, but if yours is a bit bigger and you like company, why not invite someone else to share it?
sleeping bag
it’s July, sure, but Poland is not Morocco.
rainproof clothing
when it rains, the show must go on. There will be no special delivery of indoor toilets to your tents, so you’ll sometimes have to walk through mud. Bring something that lets you not care about the rain.
bowl
each group cooks for themselves, and we’ll usually eat out of a pot. A plastic or metal bowl or a mess tin is recommended.
eating utensils
a spoon, fork, and knife so you can actually eat from that bowl.
mug
if you plan to drink anything, you’ll need one. In outdoor conditions, plastic or metal is best.
Optional
PMR 446
if you prefer: walkie-talkie. Not required, but very useful and fun. We only have 10 units, so there won’t be enough for everyone.
musical instrument
if you like playing music, we’ve got musicians on our team who love to play and sing. For minimalists, we recommend the harmonica, since it’s small. We even have someone on our team who can teach you how to blow into those holes so it actually sounds nice.
flashlight
in theory, everyone has a light on their phone, but who knows if there’ll be enough power for everyone. A flashlight might also come in handy for beaver hunting.
earplugs
you’d be surprised how far snoring travels at night. We’ll bring some extras, but you might already have your favorite pair.

The end
mission accomplished!
On this day we really have to leave.
Last year’s camp was so much fun that we wanted to stay there and live together forever. Fortunately, or unfortunately, for those interested, the campsite was booked for a limited number of days. We hope this year will be similar, or even better! And if it happens, there’s a chance we’ll see each other again next year.
Camp rules
To ensure the camp maintains a positive spirit and runs smoothly, we need to agree to a few restrictions on our independence. We’ve established a set of optimal, proven, and reasonable minimum guidelines. We have only six rules, and they’re pretty straightforward. To attend the camp, you must agree to them. The camp rules consist of only 6 points
1.
We do not tolerate any violence, beating others, or bullying. This applies to everyone and everywhere. There will be no tolerance for those who harm others.
2.
The same applies to private property. Stealing or destroying things that belong to others is unacceptable. Just no. Unconditionally.
3.
We do not drink alcohol during the camp. Yeah, it’s a shame, because even Jesus drank wine with his disciples. But the camp is only 7 days long, and they’re very active days. The point is for us to be engaged, not sluggish.
4.
Smoking is only allowed in designated areas on the premises. The general rule is: you can stink if you like, but only if it doesn’t stink to others.
5.
Participants agree to follow staff instructions regarding safety, legal requirements, and other important matters. For example, if an organizer says, “Wojtek, take off that sweater—it’s 35 degrees out,” you can choose to listen or ignore them. But if an organizer says, “Wojtek, get out of the tent because there’s a fire,” there’s no room for discussion.
6.
In case of doubt as to whether the rules have been broken, the final decision rests with the camp manager.
inne?
One could argue whether additional rules would be useful, for example: if two people are sleeping in a tent, they must take a shower. Or: don’t pee against the wind. But these are just everyday matters that we’ll happily work out together.
This is the minimum we require. We don’t create rules just in case, because we believe that trust and understanding give better results than coercion and rules. But we also have to make sure everyone has a good time and returns home safe and sound, so there will be zero tolerance for breaking the ironclad rules at camp.
What am I actually paying for?
No, this is not all inclusive.
This is all confronting.
⭐️
You’re paying for conditions like a 1-star hotel.
(that one star is the staff + participants — and honestly, we try to shine as bright as we can)
What you get:
a place for your tent…(which you must bring yourself) or a hammock in the forest
(if you’re not scared that a leaf might fall on your face at 3:00 a.m.)
hot and cold water
(hot depends on your determination… and whether someone before you was more determined)
a shower
(if you build it yourself — yes, really, that’s part of the experience)
a chair
(sometimes stable, sometimes a test of your faith and balance)
a bit of a kitchen, a pot, and some food to prepare meals
(MasterChef: “let’s see if this even works” edition)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You get something you won’t find in a 5-star hotel:
For example:
confrontation with fear
(survival elements, public speaking, improv games, city missions)
a great atmosphere
(people who are also afraid — and still do things)
a shit (“a lot” in polish) of fun
(the kind where you laugh at yourself… and suddenly realize that’s actually growth)
conversations about everything
(fear, life, God from the Bible, or maybe the idea that He doesn’t exist)
🌵
Sounds poor?
Good.
Because you’re not paying for luxury.
You’re paying for an experience that might break you a little…
and then put you back together better than before.
