Spring Camp is 5/4-5/10 2012.

Check-in Schedule:You may check-in to camp from Friday, May 4th 4pm until 8pm — which we recommend — and again Saturday morning May 5th from 7am until 8:15am. We invite you to show up Friday 4pm or after to join us for our get-acquainted gathering and dinner, which our staff will provide.

Start time:All campers must present for the 8:45 morning circle Saturday. No late arrivals. (Seriously, folks, be there for this.)

The Program: Programing begins Saturday May 5th at 8:45 (opening circle and orientation) and runs through Thursday May 10th at midday.

Location: South of Olympia, Washington, in the lovely Millersylvania State Park. Directions will be sent with registration confirmation.

Early Departure: Camp can be a powerful experience even if you can’t stay for the entire time. If you need to leave early, that’s okay. We appreciate the time that you could spend with us.

All-hands Work Sharing: We ask everyone to contribute a few hours over the course of the camp to help Camp run smoothly. This can include cooking or cleaning in the kitchen, tidying shared spaces, and so on. This is a lovely opportunity to bond more deeply with each other and co-create community.

We provide: Campsites and cabins, healthy vegetarian and vegan meals, six days of programing, experienced international presenters, exciting workshops and fun activities, a community of fascinating and unusual people.

Music: Let’s make music! All music-making is encouraged and appreciated. Bring your instruments and voices. Be the live music you want to hear. Let’s celebrate!

Intense Experiences: Besides being a wonderful escape from some of society’s repressive social constraints, the NCNW 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 as to whether to participate or not. Traditionally, many campers practice multiple loving relationships. However, the Spring Camp is a place where all relationship choices and orientations are honored equally.
