Natural high
Your experience will be more majestic without
For us, ‘Naturally high’ means: zero intoxication – so no alcohol or other drugs. Drug use, besides alcohol, has been exceedingly rare at our events. The ‘no stimulants/substances’ policy for our events is a natural progression :)
A note about cigarettes/tobacco:
Crazy Camps take place in a remote environment with very few sources of human generated smell nuisance. We’re in the middle of nature! If there is a smoker in the group and that person smokes a cigarette outside and then comes back into the hut, the cigarette smell that that person is carrying will be perceived much more strongly by the non-smokers than in a ‘normal’ urban environment. If you are a smoker you are totally welcome at the Crazy Camps – and I totally encourage you to minimize your smoking for example by making a small hike alone in the afternoon or evening and having a cigarette during that hike, making sure that there is a bit of time passing between your smoking and your getting back to the group.
Why are alcohol and drugs not popular at the Crazy Camps?
We don’t judge alcohol or drug use – in fact, at the Crazy Camps, we generally avoid judging altogether :) The essence of the Crazy Camps is that you’ll experience a natural state of ‘completeness’ due to the unique elements that make them special:
- The extraordinary location of our lodgings, nestled high in the awe-inspiring mountains, far from villages and ‘civilisation’
- A vibrant social environment with diverse, international groups representing various ages, gender identities, nationalities, and more
- The incredible activities on offer, such as hiking and swimming in the summer or skiing and snowboarding in the winter, alongside crazy group games, meditations, and comfort zone challenges. Ah, and let's not forget the conscious kink workshops and play time.
Why all these rules?
They’re not rules :) it’s merely commitments we make together. And we make this commitment for good reasons. Not drinking and not using drugs helps create a safer experience on every level.
- In the mountains, it supports clear decisions, better coordination, and more awareness during hikes, skiing, and snowboarding.
- Socially, it helps people stay present, read each other more clearly, and respect boundaries with care.
- And on the inside, being substance-free can make the whole experience feel more real: the connection, the emotions, the playfulness, the challenge, and the sense of coming home to yourself.
In the beginnings of Crazy Camps, there was some alcohol consumptions. So it might be that you'll find references to that in testimonials or pictures.
