General | Posted 7 years agoWhat is Camp Tiny Paws?
August 17-19, 2018 at the Crowne Plaza Danbury
Three days (Friday --> Sunday)
Campers 13+ years old: Chipmunk $40, Owl $60, Deer $100, Wolf $200
Campers 7-12 years old: $10 (3-day basic admission)
Campers 0-6 years old: FREE (3-day basic admission)
We are showcasing 39 different artists, crafters, and vendors in our Expo!
https://twitter.com/TinyPaws_Con/st.....01520588103681
We also have our Tabletop Gaming Lodge, a Photography Studio, and the Craftaggedon, our open crafting room, all of which will be open to our campers throughout the weekend.
For just $1 a ticket, you can enter to win from a large selection of items in our Charity Raffle (located in our Expo) to benefit the Connecticut Humane Society.
Want to further help us support the Connecticut Humane Society? Think about donating books, art, movies, costuming items with you!
Attend any of our 21 panels about writing, painting/drawing, our fandom, furry literature, sign language, tabletop gaming, business and self-employment, law, psychology, cupcakes, story times, comedy, gardening, commissioning artists, and video games.
Then there's our Main Lodge!
Uncle Kage's Story Hour, karaoke, dancing, our Talent Show, Floor Wars, Nintendo Switch gaming event, three days of Camp Olympics, games for our little Butterflies, our Happy Birthday Celebration, and Pub Trivia.
Also joining us will be the Utopia Descending LARP group!
Further charity fundraising will take place during our charity poker game (with a sweet prize for the winner!), and Vampire and D&D campaigns!
Our Wolf campers will also enjoy two exclusive events:
Saturday morning breakfast buffet with our GOHs Boozy Badger, Shadra, and Patch O’Furr,
and for our 21+ year old Wolves... a sake tasting with our GOHs and led by Uncle Kage!
Our Counselors are constaff veterans with decades of experience between them, along with a few who are newer to their positions but no less passionate. All of us are devoting this weekend to you, putting our hearts and souls into our work.
We honestly care about you and about providing the best possible experience for everyone who joins us. We have been working hard for months now, putting together an amazing weekend, helped by our cadre of panelists and event organizers.
Talent Show participants and Floor Wars competitors must attend a mandatory rehearsal/try-out session Saturday morning at 10am in the Main Lodge.
Our Talent Show will be judged by Quotation Marks and the badgotts, Patch O’Furr, and Uncle Kage! Awards will be given!
Our Gaming Lodge will also feature a gaming store, thanks to the Tabletop Gaming Center of Newington, CT, to go along with our tournaments and game demos available throughout the weekend!
Our Gaming Counselor SpotWeld will also have a huge library of tabletop games!
Do you have the nerve to face the depths of Craftaggedon? Enter a chamber of beads and baubles, paints and paper to create treasures from the depths of your imagination in our open crafting room!
And because we didn't want it to be too scary, this is a glitter-free zone.
Campers will need to bring one of the following photo IDs:
driver's license
non-driver's photo ID
military photo ID
passport
We do not accept expired documents or temporary IDs.
Minors 17 and under must also bring a notarized copy of our Parental Consent form.
We will have THREE days of Camp Olympics--open to fursuiters and non-fursuiters alike!
Teams will vie for daily ribbons. Participants will receive a raffle ticket--fursuits/costumes get 2--to win a free 2019 registration!
Have limited mobility? You can join in the fun!
If you have limited mobility, our con space is located on two floors and is accessible by elevator from the main and second floor lobbies.
If you need special accommodations for your hotel room or would need special assistance during an emergency, let the front desk know!
Is your birthday during or near to the weekend of our event? We've got a special party just for you!
Join the rest of us so we can sing you a horrible but thoughtful rendition of "Happy Birthday" and enjoy a slice of cake with all your new friends!
If you have any questions, please email us via our Contact webpage at https://www.tinypawscon.org or message us on Twitter!

SUPPORT THE CONNECTICUT HUMANE SOCIETY
We will be supporting the Connecticut Humane Society at Tiny Paws Con 2017! However, to do that, we need you to donate items which we can raffle off at our event!
We accept all donations of goods and services PROVIDED they are suitable for all ages and clean (i.e. not needing to be washed). No adult or sexually explicit items may be donated to our raffle. Common donations are: comic books, artwork, plushies, commissions (art or fursuit), ears/tails, paw slippers, role playing or collectable card game items, t-shirts, convention admission, blank DVDs or CDs, computer or video games, DVDs, CDs (music or art) etc. If you have a question about a possible donation, please contact our Charity Director.
Please note that an artist may donate a commission which may be of an adult nature or plushie/fursuit makers may offer commissions for items which may be adult in nature. However, the displays for the donated items themselves must have a G - PG rating (no nudity, etc.) to be entered into our raffle or auction.
Donations can be brought to our Charity room in Turquoise starting on Thursday night (during setup).
PANEL SUBMISSIONS
We are currently accepting submissions for panels and other programming to put on our schedule. The preference is for something with a creative and/or furry theme; however, you are welcome to submit all panels you would like to run. Please only submit panels/programming you are running yourself or with the help of others. You must be registered for the con to run a panel.
Panel submission page:
http://tinypawscon.org/index.php/registration/panel-registration
SPRING CLEANING
We are also looking for donations of crafting materials (beads, lanyard, yarn, scrapbook paper, fabric, faux fur, etc.) and crafting equipment (glue guns, etc.) to add to our crafting tables at the con. If you would like to destash your crafting supplies, please bring your items with you to the con, where you can drop them off in the main Panel room with our Programming Director. We would particularly appreciate it if you contacted the ConChairs with a list of the items you are bringing so we can add it to our inventory. If you have any questions about whether something is a suitable donation, feel free to ask!
For some items we cannot use for specific crafting events, we may put those items up for sale at bargain prices in our Charity department. (K’gra is currently planning on destashing her most of her yarn and fabric for charity.)
VOLUNTEERS
You can help make Tiny Paws Con awesome by offering your services as a volunteer! Volunteers help out in specific departments throughout the weekend, including setup and breakdown. If you would like the chance to earn a free t-shirt (8 hours) or membership for next year’s event (12 hours), be sure to have the department’s Director (or their Assistant) sign off on the time you worked for them. Time worked during setup and teardown hours earn you double-time (i.e. work for four hours but earn eight hours on your timecard)! We will be needing badgecheckers outside the Expo so sign up to volunteer with a friend and you can both earn rewards! If you are interested in volunteering in Gaming, contact our Gaming Director to let him know; overnight shifts, if available, earn you double-time as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the ConChairs or Directors at any time!
