Hello everyone!
We are very excited to announce that Indonesia will be hosting an official mirror camp of the OCPC 2025 Summer, and it is open to teams from around the world!
The mirror camp will be held on August 15th-23rd, 2025, which was chosen to be shortly before the ICPC World Finals. The camp is hosted by BINUS University in Jakarta. As this is a mirror camp, all the problem sets are the same as the main OCPC camp in Bucharest.
Although we chose this date to prepare for the ICPC World Finals, the camp is open for every teams, both ICPC World Finalists and teams who aspire to become the next World Finalists.
Registration and Content
The participation fee for this mirror camp is 201 EUR per team (roughly 3.8 millions IDR).
Note that this fee does not include costs for accommodation and meals, although generally, it is quite easy to find affordable accommodation and meals around the campus (will be explained further in the Accommodation, Meals, and Transportation section).
The camp will follow the OCPC format, which consists of 7 ICPC-style contests and some rest days. You will get an intensive training focused on advanced problem-solving techniques, team dynamics, and preparation for high-pressure contest environments. After each contest, the written editorial as well as the recording editorial from the main site will be shared.
If you are interested in participating, you can apply and register via this Google form.
Discounts
We are offering a 50% discount for teams willing to conduct a post-contest discussion for one of the camp contests. The way it works, we will share our written solution materials with you shortly after the contest, and you will be expected to discuss the problems with other camp participants, and present them solutions.
If you are interested in doing it for at least two contests, we can completely waive the participation fee for your team.
Ideally we expect the team doing it to already have a good grasp of most problems right after participating in the contest, so highly skilled teams will be given a priority if there is huge interest. Please contact us at oleksandr (at) ocpc (dot) camp to express your interest.
Location
The mirror camp will be held at Binus Anggrek Campus (the same location as ICPC Jakarta).
Accommodation, Meals, and Transportation
There are a lot of choices of accommodation, ranging from BnB that costs 15 USD/room/night to a 5 stars hotel that costs 200 USD/room/night. Personally, I do not recommend the cheap BnB as it might not be up to international standards in terms of quality (especially about cleanliness) and the staff might not be able to speak English.
Here are some BnB and hotels that you can check. All of these options are relatively close to the campus.
- Binus Square Guest House (30 USD/room/night), the guest house official by the campus. Usually, ICPC Jakarta's participants stay here. However, unlike ICPC Jakarta, we do not provide the shuttle bus to the campus.
- BnB: RedDoorz near Binus Anggrek 2 (15 USD/room/night), located just across the campus.
- 2-stars: Urbanview Hotel Slipi Inn Palmerah (25 USD/room/night)
- 3-stars: Blue Sky Hotel Petamburan (35 USD/room/night)
- 4-stars: Menara Peninsula Hotel (50 USD/room/night)
- 5-stars: Pullman Jakarta Central Park (100 USD/room/night), located on a famous mall.
For meals, you can find 2 USD meals on the campus canteen. There are a lot of food stalls near the campus (although I do not guarantee their cleanliness) that costs 1-2 USD. Fast food around here costs roughly 3-5 USD. You can also order online take outs using the apps Gojek/Grab (not a sponsor), which is similar to Uber.
For transportation, you can also use the apps Gojek/Grab. One thing to mention is that here, you can book a motorcycle ride using the apps. Also, I have to remind you that Jakarta has a lot of traffic jam. Luckily, it won't be as jammed as usual, because many universities (including Binus) are still on a summer break.
