Camp Mustache Toronto (CMTO) “FIREscape”
Break out that calendar and put a big star on June 1, 2022 -- Registration for Camp Mustache Toronto FIREscape opens on June 1, 2022 at 0800 EST, Sharp! You likely need all the details… well, keep on reading, ‘cause we’ve got ‘em all!
What is Camp Mustache Toronto FIREscape?
The fourth annual (not counting “those years”) CMTO will have three days of fun, friends and finances -- Friday meals, all presentations and many activities are all included in the registration fee!
Why come to Camp?
Do your friends think you’re ‘weird about money’? Come to camp and make new friends – people who ‘get’ your FIRE lifestyle.
Been on the FIRE path for a while? Come to camp and learn from people who are farther along on this journey. What’s life really like post FIRE?
When is it?
Camp Mustache Toronto FIREscape is September 30 – Oct 2, 2022.
Where is Camp Mustache Toronto held?
BIG NEWS! This year we have a new location about halfway between Kingston and Toronto. The resort (and we use that term VERY loosely) location is about a two and a half hour drive from Toronto airport, just under three hours from Syracuse airport, and about two and a half hours from the Ottawa Airport. It’s pretty dang fancy by CMTO standards overlooking Lake Ontario, and with two pools, a gym, tennis courts, and even microwaves and fridges right in your room!
For security reasons, the actual venue location will only be released to ticket holders.
How Much Will Camp Mustache Toronto cost?
Tickets for camp will be $175CAD - (Currently about $135 USD) Note that this event fee is non refundable, and non-transferable.
While we expect this event will run, and is in a safe, responsible venue, we cannot guarantee what the future holds. Unfortunately we cannot refund in the event of disaster, pandemic closures, or other situations beyond our control. In the event that the camp cannot run, we may attempt to distribute remaining funds equally among ticket holders once disbursements and costs are accounted for, however participants should be aware that this event does not generate profit, and a refund of the camp fee of $175 is not to be expected.
Rooms are booked separately through the resort for $95CAD (plus taxes) per room, per night on our special CMTO FIREscape group rate. This rate includes a free continental breakfast and use of all amenities on site.
Our group rate allows you flexibility to book your own room or share with a friend and save costs. Rooms are either 1 king bed, or 2 queen beds - either choice is at the same price. We have held 50 rooms at this heavily discounted rate.
Room refunds are between the participant and the venue; however, our booking contract allows you to cancel your room for full refund up to Sept. 26th.
How do I get a ticket?
Unlike past years, CMTO FIREscape tickets will be first come, first served. Once they are gone, they are gone. Given our short timeline, and competing priorities, we simply do not have resources to manage a lottery or waitlist. Watch for the signup email on June 1st, and get your payment in as soon as your registration is confirmed to secure your spot.
What payment options exist?
Payment options will be detailed in the forthcoming registration email, however, the most likely will be via bank transfer (Canadians) or PayPal (all participants). Some payment methods may have fees.
How many people are coming?
We have about 60 available spots. CMTO has always sold out quickly, generally right after registration opens.
Who Can come?
Whoever gets a ticket – All are welcome! Registration opens on June 1, 2022 at 0800EDT and successful registrants will receive an email with registration/payment instructions. Stay tuned to this thread for more info. Your space is only guaranteed once your ticket payment is received.
Can I bring my Spouse/Kids?
If you buy them a ticket, yes they can come. All adults pay the same rate. Children are free; however, we cannot provide food for children.
Can I bring my dog?
No. The venue strictly prohibits dogs on the property. Please leave them at home or at a local kennel.
What is included in the registration fee?
3 days and 2 nights at CMTO FIREscape including Friday meals and all presentations, participation in the world famous Volley-Hockey-Ball tournament, and a pile of great conversation and story sharing. A schwag bag is also being assembled.
What are the presentations?
The CMTO FIREscape Organising Committee members are currently planning the sessions and presentations – please reach out if you have an idea for a topic or speaker. There will be topics of general interest to Mustachians, as well as "Core subject matter" such as financials, careers, and post-RE lifestyle. There will be sessions geared to those new to FIRE as well as those farther along in their FIRE journey.
Current proposals include “How to beat marketers at their own game”, “Building tribe” and “Strategic investing.” We welcome your suggestions for topics of interest.
