SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
We're Riot Squad Media and we are thrilled to announce after a fun, successful second year, Camp Punksylvania is officially calling Scranton, PA home. We'll be returning to the legendary Circle Drive-In Theater September 1st, 2nd and 3rd of 2023. This 100 acre property is located in the heart of the Electric City and has a max capacity of 5,000. Camp Punksylvania is a 3 day music and camping festival with an emphasis on local/regional music as well as mental health, human rights and equality.
For us, unity is everything and we love being together with our fellow punk rockers. The great music, camping, bonfires and more are just really great perks. Our DIY ethos and passion for the punk community, mixed with our versatile skills fueled this operation back in 2019. After a pandemic and some other obstacles, we are proud to say we aren't going anywhere.
We are pleased to be partnering with Punk Rock Saves Lives again, a phenomenal nonprofit organization focusing on mental health initiatives, bone marrow registration, equal rights and so much more for Camp Punksylvania 2023. Together, our mission is to bring the community together through music & arts, as well as gather registrations and raise awareness for everything Punk Rock Saves Lives has to offer while providing a fun, safe environment for all.
THE FIRST YEARS: 2021 & 2022
THE FIRST YEARS: 2021 & 2022
The very first Camp Punksylvania took place in September of 2021 at Four Quarters in Artemas, Pennsylvania. With 23 bands on the lineup spread over 3 days, Camp Punksylvania saw just over 300 weekend campers, as well as about 100 single day ticket holders each day. After a successful first year under our belt, we decided moving to The Electric City for 2022 was the best thing for us.
Over 40 bands took to the three different stages at Camp Punx 2022. With about 500 weekend attendees and 200-250 additional single day tickets, Scranton was crawling with happy punks for a September weekend. Camp Punx more than doubled in size in just 12 short months. Hotels had no vacancies and local stores saw nonstop business and spikes in sales. The Circle Drive-In was filled with bands, vendors & attendees exploring the grounds, participating in group activities & enjoying music and each other all weekend long.
We are excited to see 2023's event come to life at the Circle Drive-In Theater again after what we achieved in previous years being totally DIY with no monetary sponsorships. We fully believe Camp Punksylvania has the potential to be one of the east coast's best punk rock festivals with a little bit of help.

TESTIMONIALS
TESTIMONIALS
“It wasn’t the first year’s festival that made me see its future, it was meeting the Riot Squad Media crew and seeing how this was so much more for them. The fact we drove there to just play a show thinking it was just like any other show and gaining some of the best friends we could ever ask for made it so much more than a gig. You always hear people call the things they do their “passion projects,” but Riot Squad are the first people I met that really consider this their lives and give everything they have to it. That’s unheard of in this world and 100 percent of the reason I know this festival is going to become a legendary piece of history.”
- Kyle Johnson, drummer of Fat Chance and Audio Engineer at Matt Kester Productions
"Camp Punksylvania is an immersive experience that gives attendees of the festival actual opportunities to do good. It is rare in this age that a festival makes it a point to give back and highlight those efforts. One of the biggest reasons we are coming back to Camp Punksylvania 2022 is the community they have been cultivating. Their community embraced us immediately when we were onsite. So much so, we were lucky to gain crucial volunteers and connections from Camp 2021. One volunteer in particular has volunteered 4 times in 4 different states with us and played at one of our fundraising events. We would love our engagement to continue to grow with the attendees of this festival as it grows."
- Tina Rushing, Director of Operations, Punk Rock Saves Lives
"I see potential in this and look forward to helping make this an annual event and grow each year. I think this is something really unique."
- David Castelli, Owner & Operator, The Circle Drive-In Theater
