Calendar

A few notes on the calendar:

This calendar is a living document. It will continue to grow, shift, and change up to and during the time of Camp.
Camp attendees are welcome to schedule sessions now. Simply log in, and go to “Events” -> “Add New”.
If you want to RSVP for a session, just add a comment that say’s you’re coming!
While campers are welcome to schedule sessions on any day, this year we structured the schedule so that the last week & Sundays will be Camper-Led days – the schedule is left completely open for campers to organize and create the events on those days. Make it what you want it to be!
Because it takes a while for the calendar to take shape, you can always see schedules from camp past to get a sense of what has happened at previous camps: click here for 2012 and here for 2011.
