DWeb Camp Cascadia is a cozy, collaborative gathering for the DWeb community taking place August 8-10 at the Salt Spring Island Farmers’ Institute — a beautiful community venue with open fields, rustic charm, and room to camp under the stars.

Over 3 days of shared meals, thoughtful conversations, music jams and skillshares, come relax, connect, and contribute to the spirit of decentralized, community-led experimentation. Whether you're deeply involved in DWeb or simply DWeb curious, we welcome you to come to Camp!

This is the pilot year for a regional DWeb Camp in North America. Be part of foundational planning and culture-building for what will grow into a fun, multi-year, multi-country tradition.

  • Water bottle and/or mug

Bring your curiosity, ideas, instruments, and anything you’d like to share with the community!

Tent Share Options

If you don’t have camping gear, we’ve got you covered—a limited number of tent spots with gear provided are available by request. These include a basic tent, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag    Let us know when you register that you'd like to reserve one, and we’ll follow up with details!

Why is it called ‘Cascadia’?

The term Cascadia is a shorthand for the cross-border network of people in the Pacific Northwest who share an interest in place-based, decentralized technologies. It reflects a cultural, geological and ecological affinity that spans from British Columbia through the Pacific Northwest, where communities are exploring how local context—land, governance, history, and infrastructure—can shape resilient digital systems. Our use of “Cascadia” acknowledges shared curiosity and collaboration across borders, rather than any political stance.
