===== Things to know before your arrival in Philly =====
+
Carpooling list is here: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php?title=Main_Page/Meetings/LFPCamp2022/Carpooling
−
====== Transit from airport ======
 
−
* Getting from the Philly airport to West Philly is extremely easy! There is an airport train that runs frequently: https://www.septa.org/welcome/airport.html. Tickets are $8; buy your ticket on the platform before you get on the train and save the receipt! If the train is arriving when you're getting to the platform and you need to run to catch it, be aware that it's cash only on the train! You'll want to take the train to 30th Street Station. It's a 15 minute walk from the station to the hotel.
 
−
* If you're arriving via Amtrak, you're getting into 30th Street Station too. It's a 15 minute walk from the station to the hotel.
 
−
* If you need to take a taxi or rideshare from the airport, that is okay, just let Alison know first so that we can budget. Also, it would be great to coordinate with other people who are arriving at the same time.
 
  
−
===== Venue =====  
+
===== Venue and accommodations =====  
−
Sheraton University City meeting room: I had to switch our venue from Calvary Church to this because Calvary doesn't have air conditioning and it's gonna be super hot.
+
Hands in 4 Youth Camp, West Milford NJ.
  
−
===== Hotel =====
+
We will be staying in camp cabins, which are pretty spare. Some of the rooms are shared and others are not. You can put your roommate preferences here:
−
Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel 3549 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19104 (room assignments to come). Elevator accessible, no stairs to climb at all as far as I know.
 
  
−
===== Group dinner =====
+
The camp provides pillows, sheets, and blankets, but you should also bring your own more comfortable ones if you want.  
−
White Dog Cafe, 3420 Sansom Street. We have a private dining room on the first floor.  
 
  
−
====== Transit locally ======
+
You must bring your own towels and toiletries!
−
* All of our "official" locations - hotel, venue, and dinner - are accessible by multiple forms of public transit.
 
−
* '''Public transit:''' SEPTA is our transit system here and you can get pretty good info about scheduling via whatever your preferred transit app is (also there's a SEPTA app if you want to download that). SEPTA rides are $2.50 each way; you can pay with cash or you can get daily passes in stations where there are ticket machines. You can also buy a SEPTA keycard for $5 and add money to it; with a keycard, fares are $2 and transfers are $1, so if you're planning to stick around in Philly and take transit a lot, it might be worth it.
 
−
* The best way to take SEPTA from the hotel to the venue is via the 34 trolley. Get on at the station at 36th and Market (I think there is an elevator at this station, which is underground) and take it to 48th and Baltimore (it will leave you off above ground). Trolleys are unfortunately not accessible; you have to walk up a couple of steps to get on and down a couple of steps to get off (buses are abundant and accessible). When you are exiting the trolley from the back door, you have to step down onto the steps for the trolley doors to open.
 
−
* '''Parking:''' Street parking is all metered or permits. The Sheraton has a parking garage for people staying in the hotel and I believe it's $35 for 24 hours. This is probably the best price you'll get if staying at the hotel; there are parking garages in the neighborhood if you are driving but not staying at the hotel. Save your receipts!
 
−
* '''Bikes:''' You can rent bikes from Indego: https://www.rideindego.com/ and there are docking stations all over the place. The closest to the hotel is at 36th and Sansom; the closest to the venue is at 45th and Baltimore. Stay safe people!! It's safer to bike here than for example NYC, but it's still a big city with cars that go too fast. Especially watch out for trolley tracks while biking; they will fuck your shit up. If you plan to bike I'll share more tips about where is safest!
 
  
−
====== Food ======
+
Information about who is rooming with whom is here https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/Main_Page/Meetings/LFPCamp2022/Rooms
−
* '''West Philly:''' There is lots of amazing food in West Philly, and Baltimore Ave (where our venue is) has many different options. My personal favorites around the neighborhood include Vientiene Cafe, Vietnamese hoagies from Fu Wah, Chili Garden, Abyssinia, and Saad's Halal. The hotel is basically on Penn's campus, and there are tons of "fast casual" type places and chain restaurants, plus lots of amazing food carts (cash only). There are many Ethiopian restaurants in West Philly (my favorite is Abyssinia but they are all pretty good). There is vegan food at all of these places (I personally recommend the falafel at Saad's).
 
−
* '''Coffee and breakfast places''': My two favorite West Philly coffee places are Knockbox Cafe and Satellite Cafe. If you like light roast fancypants coffee, people here like Reanimator for that. Most of our coffee places have bagels and pastries and other small food things. If you want '''for real breakfast''', go to Sabrina's Cafe (give yourself time here), Renata's, or Gold Standard Cafe.
 
−
* '''Vegan food outside of West Philly:''' TBD but just so yall know we have TONS OF IT
 
−
* '''Cheesesteaks outside of West Philly:''' TBD but I know you want one. There are vegan cheesesteaks too of course!
 
−
* '''Some of Alison's fave food places outside of West Philly''': TBD

====== About West Philly ======
+
===== Food =====
 +
The camp will be providing all of our meals. Please make sure Alison is aware of your dietary needs well in advance!
  
−
West Philly is a really special place. For decades, it's been the home of artists, hippies, radicals, families, communes, anarchists, immigrants, punks, musicians, and more -- the heart of the counterculture of Philadelphia. Once upon a time, it was the fancy streetcar suburb for the urban gentry, which is why we have so many enormous and beautiful Victoria houses. We have a strong sense of community here, along with frequent community events and block parties and such (closer to the date, I'll add some of these events). Lots of these activities happen in one of our two big parks: Clark Park (the bigger of two) and Malcolm X Park; there's also a lot of tinier ones scattered here and there.  
+
Our accommodations include kitchens in each building, so we will have plenty of space to bring our own snacks and drinks.  
  
−
It's not all utopia here of course; the forces of gentrification have been changing the landscape of the neighborhood for a long time, and more radically in the last 10-15 years. The University of Pennsylvania is one of the biggest drivers of this, but there are numerous forces at work including real estate speculation and local political corruption. What this looks like is the Black and Brown community members (the majority of West Philly) have been pushed further west, southwest, and north, while the tree-lined streets closer to Penn have become whiter and richer.
+
===== Things to do at the camp =====
 +
* Hiking and walking trails
 +
* Boating (unfortunately we won't be able to swim because there's no life guard)
 +
* Ropes course
 +
* Fishing (BYO equipment)
 +
* Hanging out by the lake
  
−
One of the most notorious and horrifying things to ever happen in Philadelphia happened here in West Philly in 1985; when the city of Philadelphia dropped a bomb on the home of the Black radical group MOVE, killing 11 people (including 5 children) and destroying dozens of homes in the neighborhood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVE. Sadly there has never been any accountability or repair to the MOVE family or any of the hundreds of people who lost their homes in the fire, and the city and the University of Pennsylvania continue to cause harm, most recently with the revelation that both have kept MOVE victim remains without the family's knowledge: https://whyy.org/articles/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-desecration-of-move-bombing-victims-remains/. For more on the MOVE bombing, I highly recommend the film "Let the Fire Burn".
+
===== Weather =====
 +
Mid-September weather should be very nice, in the 70s, likely will be dry. Will update this closer to the date.

It's a big city and crime is definitely a thing. If you're out late I recommend having a buddy or two; walking down Baltimore Ave is usually a good bet because there are more people around and it's well-lit. I can recommend places to go out late that are in highly populated areas that are easily to get to from public transit. All that said, I have personally never had any issues in all my years here; however friends of mine have certainly gotten robbed in the park or on the street. Exercise the amount of caution you would in any big city!

Venue and accommodations[edit]

Hands in 4 Youth Camp, West Milford NJ.

We will be staying in camp cabins, which are pretty spare. Some of the rooms are shared and others are not. You can put your roommate preferences here:

The camp provides pillows, sheets, and blankets, but you should also bring your own more comfortable ones if you want.

You must bring your own towels and toiletries!

Information about who is rooming with whom is here https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/Main_Page/Meetings/LFPCamp2022/Rooms

Food[edit]

The camp will be providing all of our meals. Please make sure Alison is aware of your dietary needs well in advance!

Our accommodations include kitchens in each building, so we will have plenty of space to bring our own snacks and drinks.

Things to do at the camp[edit]
  • Hiking and walking trails
  • Boating (unfortunately we won't be able to swim because there's no life guard)
  • Ropes course
  • Fishing (BYO equipment)
  • Hanging out by the lake
Weather[edit]

Mid-September weather should be very nice, in the 70s, likely will be dry. Will update this closer to the date.
