Last minute details.....

Three more sleeps until the Convergence!  Excited yet?

Here are some details that will help to make your weekend planning and packing easier.

First, those who are bringing children, the director of the Childrens’ activities has asked that your kids bring a few things for the Kids Permie Camp:  Hat, water bottle that can be painted on, rain boots and jacket, T-shirt for painting on, lighter colors better, favorite natural objects (should be labeled with child’s name for return home), large pillow to sit on and blanket for quiet/story times, plain writing book to use as a nature journal.

Friday night dinner will be potluck. Please bring your contribution ready to be served. Crock pots and roasters welcome.

Dinner at 6pm

All folks are responsible for their own breakfast on both days.  We will be proving eggs each morning and will have coffee and tea available.

This is a low impact event. Please bring your own dishes. There will be a communal dish washing area available at all times.

Recommended things to bring:

Plates

Utensils

Chairs

Please bring musical Instruments!  Tubamabobs, obomophones, etc

Soup bowl, cloth napkins, dish cloths for drying dishes, cloth shopping bag or basket to store dishes in, beer, breakfast food, rain coat, water bottle.

Please DO NOT BRING:  Dogs, fireworks, glass bottles.

Camping

All camping is on mowed grass with basic composting toilets nearby.  It can be quite cool at night and in the morning and very hot during the day.

There are 4 options for camping. RV/trailer, tenting, tipi and fresh air cabins. 

When you arrive at Rancho Relaxo you will be greeted and registered. Tenters will be loaded onto wagons/trailers and shuttled into the camping area. Because we feel vehicles take away from the beauty of the property, cars are not permitted in the yard and will be parked in an adjacent lot.

There will be well water for drinking and a laundry sink for hand washing and tooth brushing. Please use only earth friendly biodegradable products.

At this point there are no fire bans. Fires are only in designated fire pits.  We have a fire pit that can be cooked on.

Volunteers

Breakfast and lunch will be provided for all volunteers on Friday and Monday.

You may arrive any time after 6pm on Thursday and stay until Monday 4pm. 

When you arrive you will receive details of your job for the weekend.  You may do more than one job if you’d like to meet more people.
