Camp venue

The marathon will take place in Swintti, our own swing dance studio in the city of Tampere. The house holds all that is needed for a successful dance event: sauna, dancefloor, kitchen, plenty of room for accommodation, showers – and did we already mention sauna! The house has served as the swing centre of Tampere and the biggest swing venue in Finland for two full years – and to our current knowledge it will soon be demolished in January! This may be the last big event in the place – until we find a new one.

In theory, you don’t have to leave the house during the event – and you will like that keeping in mind the typically cold weather of the time.

For participants arriving form abroad we provide mattresses, but you need to bring your own blankets, pillows and sheets. Accommodation at the camp venue is available from December 31st until January 3rd.

See more information about the transportation to the camp venue from General information -page.

For those who wish to accommodate more comfortably we can warmly recommend dancer-approved Omena-Hotels in the city centre (15 min by car, 25 min by bus).

Meals

During this event you don't need to be hungry. We offer you meal packages that include everything you need to eat during the camp.

It is of course allowed to eat and drink your own food and drinks if you like, but we strongly recommend you to buy the full meal package. It will be of good value: not only breakfast, lunch and dinner but also snacks, fruits, sweets etc. for the duration of the whole event! You won't have to visit a shop once. So don't count the price of just three meals a day but full delicious enjoyment!

In some meals there may be juice or home-made beer or milk available free of charge. Soft drinks are available to buy in the camp venue.

Meals 24-hours 22 euros (inc. all meals during NSJ or Marathon)
Meals 48-hours 40 euros (inc. all meals during NSJ and Marathon)

Note: You need to order your meal package when registrating to the camp.
