Camping Week-end
Dante wishes to invite you to a Antwerp Collective Camping Week-End, starting on a friday evening, and finishing on sunday ( can eventually last longer depending on individual preferences ).

The aim is to invite people to visit the place, meet each other, and imagine together some of the upcoming potentials we aim at creating in relation to the house.

Dante wishes to set a time frame, having at least 4 to 5 people present sleeping over on each of the 2 week end nights. Contact Dante with your timing preferences.

If sufficient people are interested, we can have several week ends. If you are available during week-days, it can also be considered if there are enough people ready to engage themselves. ( Dante does not want to stay in the building on his own ;) )
