What to Bring

Whether this is your first time camping or you've been camping for decades, please take a brief look through this list as it also addresses important topics such as: shelter types, outhouses, potable water, etc. 

Schedule

We will have a loose and flexible schedule present and posted during the event. Taking our cues from nature, however, participants may find an amazing opportunity and choose to follow what/where they feel called to in the moment. Any schedule we create is intended to facilitate flow and connection, not restrict it!
