Unique Personal Growth Experience: For the price, there are few events on the planet which offer the depth and quality of experience of an NFNC Camp. We are deeply committed to co-creating a New Culture, and these events are our primary vehicle for doing so. To learn more about what to expect from our intended culture of camp or new culture you may find it helpful to read the article, New Culture Perspectives, downloaded here.
"Safe Container": We begin Exploratorium Camp by co-creating a safe container. To establish a bond of trust, mutual respect, safety, and loving kindness, it is essential that all attendees be present by 7:00PM, Friday, June 14. We welcome your arrival after 1PM on Friday. Register, set up your campsite, then join us for dinner at 5:00PM, followed by the evening program. Please contact the registrar if you can't attend the evening program at 7 PM on Friday, June 14 so that we can make sure you have all the information you need to co-create your New Culture Exploratorium Camp experience.
Early Departure: If you can't stay for the entire time, Exploratorium 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.
Community Service: Exploritorium Camp has a high value on service. Everyone will contribute daily hours toward projects that will support SCwest and support our daily camp community. Participating in daily service offers the 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, a fun and exciting program, with daily community activities, and a snack kitchen for preparing your personal snacks and meal supplements. Clothing is optional throughout most areas of camp.
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 non-glass water bottle, personal back jack or chair, spray bottle for hot days, and a gallon of water to keep at your tent. Please bring your work clothes and safety gear for working with tools. If you do not own such items - we will have some available for all.
Optional Items: Musical instruments, outrageous clothing for dressing up and dance parties.
Participatory Music: All music-making is encouraged & greatly appreciated. Bring your instruments, voices, and talents. Be the live music & let's celebrate you!
RVs: RVs and personal vehicles: There are limited RV parking sites, no hookups available. Prior notice to the registrar is required for RVs. Vehicles will be safely parked away from the main camp areas, sleeping in your vehicle is not advised. If you must use your vehicle during camp, please contact the registrar.
Leave at Home: Alcohol or recreational drugs, valuables of any sort, pets of any make or size, weapons of any sort.
Caveat: Besides being a wonderful escape from some of society's repressive social constraints, Exploratorium 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, Exploratorium Camp is a place where all relationship choices and orientations are honored equally.
