2022
August 28 — September 2
Schedule
Eat, jam, eat more, sleep, repeat.
We’ll honor and observe State of Washington regulations and CDC guidelines for gatherings like ours which are in effect at the time of the camp.
We’ll be the only group on the site during this year’s Summer Acoustic Music session. We’ll use the cabins and South Lodge for housing. Huckleberry House will not be used for housing this year.
We will be able to accommodate RVs and tent campers at SAM again this year. I will lobby hard for the return of the Porta-Potti in the field for RV/tent dwellers, and we should have Huckleberry House available for showers and bathroom use again, too.
We’ll take our meals at Madson Lodge as usual. Pilgrim Firs will serve three meals per day to us — not yet sure about 10 PM snacks! I will also lobby for the return of the outdoor tent pavilion for meals and evening gatherings -- it was a lot of fun last year, really a pleasant space.
Don’t know yet about using Madson Lodge for indoor dining or music sessions. More on that later.
We will not be able to accommodate partial stays at camp this year.
IMPORTANT
For the safety of other campers and staff, each of us must have completed a Covid-19 vaccination series including one booster before coming to camp. If you have not already done so, I recommend that you digitize your Covid-19 vaccination record card, so that you can provide evidence of your current vaccination record to me in an email attachment prior to camp. Please send this to me after you register, but before you come to camp; send it to mark@mahonia.com.
Please contact me if due to medical circumstances you have received medical advice not to receive covid vaccine or a booster shot, and we’ll see what can be done.
We also request -- not require -- that you undertake a complete at-home rapid test immediately before departing for camp, as mentioned in a previous email, and that you not come to camp if you receive a positive result. More on that later. Covid remains a concern.
Expect possible follow-up emails about registration as information changes or more detail is provided.
I’m excited at the prospect of getting together again, and hope to see you all in late August! (I know, I said exactly this last year, and it’s even more true this year!) In the meantime, please, please send me your questions, and let me know what I may have omitted.
Cheers,
Mark
