Midwinter Feast – Tippsund
Tippsund Campsite in Taivassalo is a forested youth camp site by the sea.
To get there, you will need a car or a ride. We will try to help with rides where possible, but it is worth asking about shared rides in advance.
The nearest large city is Turku (approx. 70km).

The address is Kahiluodontie 386, 23310 Taivassalo.

Driving instructions (from Turku):
– From Turku, take Kustavintie for about 60 km to Taivassalo Church
– From the church, turn left onto Hakkeenpääntie
– Drive for about 6 km, turn right to Leikluoto
– 2 km to the Pinonperä bridge and Kahiluoto road to the camp site

Don’t believe your navigation system if it says you have arrived before you see the camp site sign on the left side of the road.

Accommodation is in small cottages (8 cottages) with bunk beds (3 bunk beds for six people) and some also have a sofa bed. The beds are already equipped with mattresses, pillows and blankets – no linen! You must bring your own sheets and pillowcases.

The cottages do not have indoor toilets or running water. There is a maintenance building near the cottages with indoor toilets (and showers), a hall and a kitchen.
Five of the cottages are close to the main building, three a little further away.

On the shore near the maintenance building there is a (small) sauna with showers. The sauna only has one changing room, a washroom and a steam room, so some of the saunas are mixed saunas. (Although the sauna has been renovated so I’m not sure how it’s set up.)

The site is not completely accessible (the yard/walking paths are wooded, there are a lot of bunk beds, the toilets in the main building are small, etc.), but all buildings have some kind of ramps. We take into account the needs of the participants as much as possible, e.g. lower bed, roommates, diets, gender-neutral toilets and showers, sauna shifts, event materials and instructions, lights, etc. so let us know what you need and we’ll try to help.

The Site opens to visitors on Friday at 6:00 PM, but it will be available to the organizers from the morning, so let us know if you want to arrive earlier.
