Location & Travel
ZAP Outdoorz 2026 will be held at Camp Tall Timbers in Highview, WV: 1115 Reflection Ln, High View, WV 26808. This property is located around two hours from the DC and Baltimore areas. It is a private property that is far removed from the main road, so try your best to arrive during daylight hours to ensure easy arrival. Camp Tall Timbers has been built and run by one family over the years, so it is essential to treat this property with respect. Cell phone service is incredibly unreliable, please make sure to download all necessary documents before you head up to camp!
This year, attendees can arrive either by car or via shuttle bus from DC or Baltimore. All vehicles must have a parking pass. Shuttle riders are required to purchase tickets in advance, and with only 50 seats available per bus, we highly recommend securing your spot as soon as possible.
Each car requires a parking pass which must be purchased in advance via the Shotgun ticketing page under “Extra”. If you’d like to check-in during “Early Entry” on Friday, you must have an “Early Entry” parking pass. Early Entry $55 / Standard $30.

Accomodations + camping
Every ticket includes on-site camping access, with designated areas available on a first-come, first-served basis - arrive early to secure a shaded, secluded spot. For folks who opted to purchase cabin or glamping accommodations - you will receive your assignments and directions at check-in.
This is not a car camping festival - you will park your car and then carry your load to where you will be staying for the weekend - be mindful of how much you bring. Our two designated camping zones are 5-10 minute walk from the parking area. When you are setting up camp be mindful of the possibility for inclement weather. Do not camp in any valleys - try to take high or flat ground.
Remember, music is practically non-stop, if you are sensitive to noise bring earplugs to get better sleep. Be mindful of your neighbors in the camping areas and respect people’s desire to have quiet time away from the music.
There is a shooting range within a few miles from camp - you may hear gunfire during the days. If this provides any discomfort, please reach out.
Our glamping tents are equipped with twin beds, power, and lighting. Please bring sheets, pillows, and towels for every bed. We recommend bringing extra bedding to ensure comfort, The glamping tents are conveniently located near the indoor shower and bathroom facilities.
The cabins are equipped with twin beds, power, lighting, and private bathrooms with showers. Please bring sheets, pillows, and towels for every bed. We recommend bringing extra bedding to ensure comfort.
We highly recommend bringing solar power lights to help identify your accommodations - to make navigating back to your home easier at night. Check out our suggested packing list here.

Meet the Chefs
LaTropiKitchen by Stephanie Bonnin
Colombian-born chef Stephanie Bonnin is the founder of LaTropiKitchen. In 2017, she and her husband Pablo launched the project by hosting intimate dinners for friends from their home in New York City. Stephanie worked in acclaimed kitchens before dedicating herself to exploring the migrant and ancestral food pathways of Colombia's tropical landscapes. Her work blends nostalgia for fellow migrants with bold, innovative expressions of Caribbean and Latin American flavors. In 2025, Stephanie was featured in The Maldon Salt 50 as one of the world's most boundary-pushing chefs. She now leads Studio Tropical NYC (home to Patio Tropical) in Brooklyn — a vibrant culinary studio and community space offering chef residencies, workshops, private events, and an ever-changing menu that captures the lively spirit of tropical "patio" culture.
Dear Henry by Renae Wilson
Renae Wilson is a Southern-born, Brooklyn-based culinary cook and storyteller with roots stretching from South Carolina to East Texas. A U.S. Navy veteran, she traded her uniform for an apron, using her GI Bill to study at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York. Renae's career is as rich and varied as her cooking — she's a published recipe developer, private chef, caterer, cookbook tester, and magazine test kitchen alum. Check out her latest published work with National Geographic, "American Soul" — a historical journey through Black people's contributions to food in the United States. "Dear Henry" is a Brooklyn-based pop-up serving as a love letter to Southern cooking. Sometimes it feels like Sunday dinner at grandma's. Sometimes it feels vibrant, fun, and fresh. Whether it be a modern take on a Southern classic, a Southeast regional dish, or a recipe found in the pages of a vintage church potluck cookbook, there's always the comfort of familiar soul food with a touch of whimsy.

At the entrance to this area, there will be a community bulletin board with physical schedules, maps, emergency updates, & a place to drop festival notes to other campers.
The Community Care area provides harm reduction resources via Celestial Spaces, free water, a space to decompress, and trained staff to assist anyone who needs support.
Community monitors, staff liaisons, and our security team patrol the grounds 24/7. We also have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or violence of any kind. In case of serious emergency, alert any staff member or security personnel immediately. Anyone with a radio can help you if you or someone else is in serious trouble.
Environmental & Waste Policies
Respect for the site is essential to keeping this project going. We really need all attendees to help us maintain the natural beauty of the site. We have a Leave No Trace policy, and ample trash cans and garbage bags will be available. Do not leave any trash on the ground. We ask attendees to keep trash contained within their own camping area and dispose of it on their way out. Cigarettes must be disposed of in designated smoking sections located on the map. We want to keep working with this venue for a long time, please help us preserve this relationship and ease the burden on our exhausted strike crew.
Information Sharing On-Site
Occasionally set times, locations, or other camp related information may have to be changed during the event. If that happens, we will post updates on the community board at Community Care (located on your map).
For non-emergencies, visit Community Care. For emergencies, alert any staff member with a radio. You can also identify community monitors by their neon bracelets. Please help us look out for one another.
