Consultants' Camp

This year Camp meets from August 25 at 6 PM to August 31 at Noon. Consultants’ Camp usually convenes during the first week of September, but it can vary. Watch this space for future dates.

New Campers are encouraged to attend a “warm-up” session on Sunday, August 25 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Pacific time.
