Galactic Camp

Galactic Camp completely throws out the traditional hotel rulebook, operating entirely onboard a literal, massive World War II aircraft carrier! Docked beautifully in the San Francisco Bay at Alameda, California, this incredibly unique convention commands the historic USS Hornet Sea, Air and Space Museum.

The Venue IS The Theme

Unlike traditional conventions that drape their venues in rotating decorations, Galactic Camp uses the USS Hornet's spectacular steel and sprawling hangars to permanently lock into a brilliant sci-fi/military aesthetic.

The programming directly reflects its unbelievable setting, featuring massive dance stages, exclusive furry bars, and incredibly unique access to official ship history tours--walking attendees right past the carrier's engine rooms, weapons, and massive flight deck. For its May 29-31, 2026 run, the convention will even allow up to 400 attendees to actually sleep overnight onboard the ship!

Museum Syndicate

Operated by a dedicated 501(c)(3) charity team, Galactic Camp brilliantly synergizes its weekend with the USS Hornet's own educational mission. Returning from hiatus in 2025 to prove its model's resilience, the convention continues to offer one of the most uniquely immersive environments on the planet.

Highlights

• Ship Sleepovers: Incredible opportunity for hundreds of attendees to camp directly onboard the WWII carrier for the weekend.
