With the growing Twitch streaming scene, there’s also a growing variety of content available to its viewers. Recently, an unusual event took place on the platform, drawing considerable attention from the audience thanks to the participation of some of the most prominent North American streamers.
Twitch ShitCamp, one of the biggest unofficial collaborative streaming events up to date, was held from September 27th - 30th and featured sixteen well-known Twitch content creators in a reality show-like setting, offering its viewers a somewhat different experience than usual.
Instead of gaming, the group of streamers gathered IRL to spend four days together in a house in Los Angeles, California, while engaging in various challenges pre-planned activities.
ShitCamp Best Moments Compilation
The event, organised by QTCinderella, was a part of the Shit collaboration series, which was introduced this summer and kicked off with an event named ShitCon. As a part of the schedule, ShitCamp featured one ‘main activity’ per day, in addition to multiple side events that streamers took part in.
This included opening and closing ceremonies, meal cooking events, an IRL scavenger hunt, a shooting contest at the IRL gun range, a kickball tournament involving OfflineTV and 100Thieves members, a knowledge contest, a PJ party, gaming sessions and a variety of other small challenges and happenings.
The whole action was broadcasted live on multiple different channels, with only one channel hosting at a time.

The future events
For the upcoming winter season, another event of the Shit series — the ShitSummit has been announced, although its official date is yet to be revealed.
Based on the success of the previous two events, it comes as no surprise to see QTCinderella and others plan to host yet another edition of the unconventional series. Combining the large follower bases of multiple popular content creators in special collaborations proved to be fruitful many times before, and so it’s likely that more of such events will emerge in the future, as the trend of streaming collaborations continues to rise.
