Detailed Information

What does the camp consist of?

We believe that in programming competitions, the most important factor in success is experience, and the camp schedule reflects that. On most camp days, you will participate in a 5-hour training contest with your team. After the contest, you have the opportunity to listen to the contest analysis and discussion, presented by the author or one of our coaches. In addition to training your competition skills, this is a great chance to meet with other top teams and make new friends!

Where is the camp held?

The camp will be held in the Department of Mathematics, J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek.

How to get there?

• By plane: In the winter season, Croatia Airlines operates a direct flight between Munich and Osijek; from Munich, most international airports are accessible. The flight route operates on Mondays and Fridays: we have set the camp dates so that you will be able to arrive a day before the camp and leave a day after. Book early!
• By train: Croatian Railways operates a direct train between Zagreb and Osijek on a regular schedule. It is recommended to take the direct train with no changes from the main station (Zagreb Glavni kol). It takes about 5 hours.

Food and accommodation

Please note that food and accommodation are not included in the participation fee.

We will organise coffee breaks on venues during contests. There will also be options to eat at student eateries that are reasonably close to it:

• Restoran Istarska is 15 minutes from the building, and works at 8:00-21:00 Mon-Fri.
• Restoran Campus is a bit further, but also works on weekends at 11:30-18:30.

Both places provide food at around 3€-5€ per meal. The hostels that we recommend below also offer daily meals (esp. relevant for breakfast on weekends).
