CAMP HAS MEETING AND EVENT SPACE WHICH CAN BE RENTED TO GROUPS WHO WORK WITH CAMP MEMBERS AND MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE EXPOSURE TO CULTURAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND SOCIAL ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES. MEMBER GROUPS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF CAMP AND CONTRIBUTE THROUGH FINANCIAL AND VOLUNTEER SUPPORT. APPLICATIONS FOR NEW MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS MAY BE SUBMITTED TO THE CAMP BOARD BY EMAIL.

Events held by non-member groups will need a sponsor who is a member of CAMP to make sure the space is cleaned, doors are locked/unlocked, etc. Please refer to event guidelines below.

Events may be proposed to Marta, events coordinator, and will be evaluated by the events committee. Marta may be reached at coordinator(AT)stlcamp(DOT)org or tel +1-314-776-1721. Events are preferably scheduled up to six months in advance. Last minute requests for the space will be evaluated by the events committee as we are able.

CAMP groups, as well as non-CAMP groups, are required to sign an EVENT CONTRACT for each event, which assigns responsibility and liability for the care and maintenance of the space and adherence to the terms of the EVENT CONTRACT to the signer. Event Co-sponsor’s, such as CAMP member groups, are not responsible unless they are the signing party on the EVENT CONTRACT. All users of the space will receive a hardcopy of our EVENT GUIDELINES which outlines space usage and policies.

EVENT GUIDELINES

CAMP’s mission is to create and maintain a community center focusing on art, media, and popular education as tools to connect local and global struggles in a space that is open and accessible to the community.

CAMP aims to make its space available to grassroots and community focused groups for a minimal cost. For us to be able to do this, special event set-up and clean-up must, as much as possible, be done by members of the groups sponsoring the event. It is expected that the space used by the group will be cleaned up to the standards of this checklist immediately after the conclusion of the event. Timely and efficient clean-up will keep the cost for our space low. We will be glad to supply all cleaning materials and please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the following list.

 

• Sweep floors in all spaces used by group.
• Pick up any trash.
• Return chairs and tables to their proper places.
• Use wet rags to wipe down surfaces such as counter tops, tables, and chairs.
• Remove any garbage generated. Trash should be placed in dumpster behind building; recyclables can be placed in appropriate containers. Significant amounts should be taken to the recycling at the Fire Station at Pestalozzi and Jefferson.
• Clean bathroom including mopping of floor and wiping down of surfaces as needed.
• Clean up any garbage left in front of building if generated by your event.
• Please be aware that loud conversations and large numbers of people outside the building can be a disturbance to our neighborhood.

CAMP has worked very hard to establish this space and has every intention of honoring our neighborhood. Therefore we adhere to the following:

• NO EVENTS ON WED NITE AFTER 7 (due to parking availability)
• ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL OR SUBSTANCES PERIOD
• NO RUNNING
• NO FOUL, INSULTING OR DEMEANING LANGUAGE
• NO PEOPLE SLEEPING IN ANY PLACE OTHER THAN THE RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS
• RESIDENTS ARE NOT TO USE THE PUBLIC SPACE FOR PERSONAL BELONGINGS (INCLUDING BICYCLES)

EVENT COSTS:

MEMBER GROUPS: NO CHARGE
FREE EVENTS: $30/4-hour period, $100/24-hour
NON-FREE events: 30% of door, $30 minimum

Work trade requests will be evaluated by the board of CAMP. Participating CAMP residents and member groups generally have priority.
