Unique Personal Growth Experience: For the price, depth, and quality of experience, there truly are no other events like our two (this one & Summer Camp East) Summer Camps on the planet at this time! We are deeply committed to co-creating a New Culture, and this is our primary vehicle for doing so.

Safe Container: It is essential that everyone attend Orientation which begins Sat. morning August 8th at 10:30am.

Early Departure: If you can't stay for the entire time, Summer Camp can still be a powerfully transformational experience. We understand if you need to leave early, and appreciate the time that you shared with us.

Dharma Angels: Everyone contributes 8-10 hours to help camp run smoothly. This can include helping with the Youth Program, cooking or cleaning in the kitchen, tidying shared spaces, etc. Dharma Angel Service is a perfect opportunity to bond more deeply with each other as we share in the joy of co-creating community and making camp happen.

We provide: Campsites, healthy vegetarian and vegan meals, unisex outdoor showers, 10 days of exciting programs, guest speakers, experiential workshops and activities, and a snack kitchen for preparing your personal snacks and meal supplements. Clothing is optional throughout most areas of camp, but not on the public road.

Weather: Typically changeable. Expect hot to cold and wet to dry.

Essentials: A flashlight, tent, sleeping bag and pad, extra blankets for cold nights, sunscreen, sunglasses, summer clothes for hot days, warm clothes for possible cold weather, easy to carry water bottle, personal back jack or chair, spray bottle for hot days, and a gallon of water to keep at your tent.

Optional Items: A creative donation for the auction, fun things to donate to the Youth Program, water toys for swimming, musical instruments, outrageous clothing for dressing up and dance parties.

RVs: There are limited RV parking sites, and no hookups available. Prior notice is required for RVs. Check with the registrar.

Meat policy: Our hosts have asked us not to cook meat anywhere on the property. Prepared meat will be allowed in personal RV campers on-site. Jerky or dehydrated meat is permitted outdoors on-site, and may be stored in the personal foods kitchen. If this year’s policy is a hardship for you, please contact us, and we will work with you to find solutions that meet both your needs and the policies of our host.

Leave at Home: Alcohol or recreational drugs, valuables of any sort, pets of any make or size.

Caveat: Besides being a wonderful escape from some of society’s repressive social constraints, Summer Camp can be an intense personal and interpersonal experience. As such, it offers opportunities and challenges to face our own innermost inconsistencies, insecurities, and instabilities, and to encounter and respond to those of others. Be aware that not every situation may be to your liking, and that you are always at choice to participate or not. Traditionally, many campers practice multiple loving relationships. However, Summer Camp is a place where all relationship choices and orientations are honored equally.
