Zombie Con is a four-day gathering of Zombie Squad members from around the country who are coming together to share their survival knowledge and just generally have a good time camping in the wilderness with friends.
Zombie Squad will be hosting Z-Con 2006 this year in Irondale, Missouri from June 1st until June 4th. Details below
What will we be doing?
We'll have a loose schedule of events throughout the weekend. Here are a few activities we have planned so far to give you an idea:
There will also be survival themed games throughout the weekend and prizes to win so bring your brains with you.
None of the activities are required to attend so feel free to come even if the trip to the shooting range or the morning Physical Training doesn't interest you. This is a nice sized property so there is plenty of room for hiking and testing out all that survival gear you've been talking about on the internet.
We will also have an electric generator available if you need to charge batteries or run any other small electrical equipment for a short time. This is how we'll be watching movies with a theatre we will be building in the woods, in case you were wondering.
For you airsoft/paintball operators, there will be a field set aside. We will have some airsoft rifles to choose from but you are encouraged to bring your own because we don't have enough for everyone. We can ONLY allow biodegradable paint or pellets on the property so we don't trash the place. We will not have any paintball gear available. We will have some biodegradable airsoft ammo but feel free to bring your own.
Where will it be held?
The gathering will be located on private land in Irondale, MO (about 2 hours south/west of St. Louis). A map and detailed directions to the location will be provided. Since this is private land we don't want to advertise it all over the Internet.
If you will need transportation from St. Louis or from the airport/bus station please contact us ahead of time and arrangements can be made.
How much will it cost?
To cover our expenses and to secure the location for the event for all four days we will asking for $75 per person by May 1st.
This small fee covers the cost of your canoe rental, food all day on Saturday, potable water for the entire weekend, your camping spot, all the bad zombie movies you can force down for four days and lots of good times. In addition to all the coolness above, all attendees will be entered into a raffle for a Garmin Etrex GPS.
We are looking for volunteers to host seminars. If you are interested contact us and we will give you more details. Seminar volunteers have a reduced rate of $50 per person.
