Kollapscamp 2026
The 2nd Kollapscamp took place from 5–9 August 2026 – thank you all for your support: Together we can turn the unavoidable catastrophes into better catastrophes.
If you’d like to help organise next year or have feedback for us, write to us at kontakt@kollapscamp.de.
At Kollapscamp we learn with and from each other how to deal with crises in communities and meet catastrophes with collective solidarity.
Together we can achieve a lot — and at the camp we find out how! As the camp is not fully accessible, please contact us if you need assistance or aids.
The focus this year is on networking. We want to give impetus to the building of regional and thematic networks.
The programme covers three areas:
Planetary boundaries · Tipping points · Realistic scenarios · Collapse dynamics · Colonial continuities · Learning from historical experience
Space for grief · De-escalation · Psychosocial techniques · Group dynamics
Provisioning · First aid · Self-defence · Radio communication · Simulations
Existing systems are already unstable or reaching their limits, and crises and catastrophes are increasing. The compulsion for growth and the promise of eternal progress through technology no longer hold. We see:
Instead of suppressing these realities, we rely on solidarity-based preparation. We do not view collapse as an apocalyptic end, but as a steady increase in crises and catastrophes. Yet even where catastrophes can no longer be prevented, we want to stand for justice and reduce suffering.
Kollapscamp is organised by us on a voluntary basis. If you want to actively get involved, write to us: community@kollapscamp.de
The costs of food and accommodation are covered by participants themselves. For the camp's educational work we depend on grants and donations.
We reject racism, queerphobia, ableism and every other form of discrimination. We do not want prepping at others' expense and do not cooperate with people or groups whose strategies are based on the devaluation or disadvantaging of others.
We have an awareness team. Discrimination, violence and boundary-violating behaviour have no place here.
