Imagine yourself and a posse of like-minded ruby hackers on a country retreat with zero internet for a weekend of fun. You'll laugh, hack, learn, cry (well, you probably won’t cry… but you know… it felt poetic) and most likely play a crap-load of guitar hero.

Upcoming Events?

There's no dates set at the moment for future Rails Camps. An Australian one in Brisbane is being planned for the second quarter of 2009 (April, perhaps). There's been whispers of one going to happen in San Diego. A Spanish one has been proposed. It would be awesome to see more happen in Denmark, Germany and the UK.

Don't forget though: Rails Camps happen because people make them happen. People like you.
