November 3–5 2006, La Honda, CA
We are having another Bay Mountain Retreat!
Update!!!
Things have changed in the last 24 hrs. One other party or group has reserved to be in the camp at that time. This means the camp will be open regardless of our coming and we only need a 25 person minimum. We already have a good 26 people who are ready and waiting to go make it happen! We can fit up too 120 students at any one time, so everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a one of a kind experience. It is also tradition to cook a feast together the night before the seminars will commence. Any and all are welcome to show up Friday night and help with that tradition. Our main building has showers, bathrooms and a kitchen for all edible and drinkable items! Each cabin has bathrooms as well and is only a short walk away from the main building with the showers.
