Schedule
There will be activities scheduled throughout the weekend. You're welcome to join any of them -- or none, if you prefer to relax in a hammock by the creek all weekend. Details are still being planned, check back soon for the details.
Friday, July 4
You're welcome to arrive any time, on any day. We'll be at the camp site starting Friday morning. If you want to join all the activities, you'll probably want to arrive Friday or early Saturday morning. But do whatever makes sense for your schedule.

​
Feel free to leave whenever it makes sense for your schedule. We will stay at the camp site through midday Monday, and you're welcome to join us.
What's this business about Lightning Talks?
Saturday night, there is an opportunity to share your interests and knowledge with the rest of the group in the form of a 5 to 15 minute long presentation about any topic of your choice.
​
The topic is entirely up to you. It could be about beekeeping, or an obscure eighteenth century French political philosopher, or your favorite chemical reaction, or how to tie a really useful knot that you think everybody should know. The only requirement is that the subject must be something you're excited to teach others about.
Last year we heard amazing talks on varied subjects including:
-
ranked choice voting
-
data security breaches
-
the discovery / creation of longitude and its role in Western naval colonialism.
There were too many excellent talks to list them all, but it was a great evening.
​
If you need any visuals for your talk, we'll have a chalk board to draw on.
