In plain words, Camp ZST is a weekend camp-based hvz experience. After checking-in, players will remain on location for the entirety of the weekend until they check-out. During that time they will have access to camp facilities like dormitories and dining halls, where they will sleep and eat. Due to this arrangement, players will not need to reserve hotel rooms. With minimal down-time over the weekend, players will have to balance daily routines, like eating and resting, with completing missions and fighting the opposing team. Even places like restrooms will be in-play during non-safe-times. This immersive weekend will maximize the amount of time players get to play HvZ!
Babler OEC has several building facilities, most of which will be available for playing in. Some will be designated for sleeping, while others may have other in-game purposes. Beds consist of single twin sized mattresses; sleeping facilities will have multiple beds in shared rooms. Players should bring basic sleeping linens with them, as none will be provided. Sleeping bags, blankets, or sheets are recommended.
Babler OEC has a large dining hall where all food will be served. Breakfasts will be continental, while lunches and dinners will be catered. While the event team will try and accommodate dietary restrictions, some individuals may prefer to bring their own food or bring additional food to supplement the provided meals. Due to the potential for bugs and critters, players may not eat food in non-dining facilities. They may keep food in their vehicles, or in the designated dining hall storage areas.
Restrooms and showers will be available for players to use at their discretion. One set of restrooms will be marked "safe" throughout the event so all players have access to at least one restroom facility to do their business in peace. While many buildings will have restrooms and showers, we encourage players to restrict usage to the "safe" restrooms and the restrooms and showers in the designated sleeping facilities. We are responsible for cleaning all used facilities, so the fewer individual toilets, sinks, and showers that are used, the fewer that have to be cleaned.
