SIMBA CAMP

Welcome to Simba

For more than ten years, Simba has been our home at Garbicz Festival, and we can’t wait to come back to this magical playground. Simba is about bringing people together: to connect, to inspire each other and to celebrate life. We build this space and this experience together, and everyone who shares that spirit is welcome.

Takes about 5 minutes. Fields marked * are required.

First things first

Please read our principles carefully. These are the values we share and the base for our community to come together.

  1. 1. Come as you are, and be ready to give

    We welcome your whole self: your weirdness, your wisdom, your wounds, your sparkle. SIMBA is built by all of us. Your energy matters. Show up.

  2. 2. We’re all hosts here

    There’s no “crew vs. guests”. Everyone contributes, whether that’s making tea, sweeping the floor or offering hugs and presence. Every member signs up for at least one volunteer shift.

  3. 3. Take care, take initiative

    See something that needs doing? Do it. Notice someone who needs support? Offer it. This is your home too.

  4. 4. Respect the space, the people and the flow

    Consent is sacred. Boundaries are honoured. Timing is gold. Contribute in ways that uplift, not overwhelm.

  5. 5. Rest is revolutionary

    Party hard, rest deeper. Make time for silence, for softness, for not-doing. A well-rested lion roars louder.

  6. 6. Leave it better

    Clean up after yourself, uplift others, and leave every corner of the camp (and the festival) a little more beautiful than you found it.

  7. 7. Joy is our compass

    Follow your fun. Celebrate others. Make beauty, make mess, make memories. Let your joy ripple outward.

The Camp

Community Tent
Your festival living room, kitchen corner and get-ready station… and the epicenter of our Camp Party. If you know, you know.
Tea Tipi
Sip a cup, connect and reset.
Wellness Tipi
Bodywork sessions to recharge in between.
Showers & bathrooms
Clean, comfortable and right next to camp.
Polish food
A selection of Polish food next to camp throughout the day, at your own expense.
Walking Distance
A 7 min walk to the festival along the lake. Time to get into the mood of the day and calm down after a long festival day.

Tell us a little about yourself, so we get a glimpse of who you are.

Your stay

Which ways of staying would work for you? Pick one or more. *

Just a wish for now: once you’re approved, you choose and book one option. Prices are for the whole festival.

Pre-set tents come fully set up: air mattress / bed with mattress (in the Bell Tent), cushions & bedsheet, battery lamp, clothing rack, small fan and carpet. Photos and all details follow once you’re in ✨

Need more than one tent for your crew? Each tent holder applies separately and mentions the others here.

Do you already have a festival ticket? *

Your magic

Would you like to help with the set-up and/or break-down of the camp? We arrive earlier and stay longer. *
Extra skills for build-up or decoration, or something to share at camp: a performance, a workshop, helpful festival products? *
