The American Hacker Camp
About Us
ToorCamp, the American hacker camp, first “launched” at the Titan-1 Missile Silo in Washington State in 2009. The second and third ToorCamp happened in 2012 and 2014 on the beautiful Washington Coast. For the past 2 events (2016 and 2018) and upcoming 2022 are now at the Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island, WA and are looking for groups to participate. Show off your crazy projects you’ve been working on, bring some ideas you want to hack on with the other technology experts that will be showing up, organize a campsite with all of your friends and show how awesome your group is, or just see what all the other groups are up to. It’s up to you! Either way, we’d like to show that the US can throw down as much as the European hacker camps (CCC Camp, HAR, etc) so this is your invitation to come!
How to get to Camp
The Doe Bay Resort is located on Orcas Island, which can only be accessed by the Washington State Ferry (or private airplane or boat). If you are traveling from out of town we recommend flying into SEA (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport) and carpooling with friends to the camp. People will be posting ride-sharing requests to the ToorCamp Google Group. It’s around a ~90-120 minute ride from Seattle to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal and then ~1 hour ferry to Orcas Island. It’s highly recommended to get a reservation as soon as possible as they can sell out quickly and you don’t want to be waiting at the terminal all day for room on a ferry. Once on Orcas Island, it’s a 30-40 minute drive to the Doe Bay Resort. We are also looking into chartering a boat to provide park & ride service from Anacortes directly to the Doe Bay Resort for ToorCamp attendees and will post information as it’s available.
