Field trip: Camp Navarro (Fri June 21 - Sun June 23)
Join us among the redwoods for a weekend of nature activities, talks, music, dancing, & quality time spent with the community.
We are excited to announce that we’ll be organizing a weekend field trip for Edge Esmeraldans to Camp Navarro, a beautiful campground 1.5 hours away from Healdsburg with cabins for all (note camping gear is not required). We’ll head there on Friday afternoon and we’ll head back on Sunday.
This event is being co-organized by Erica Blair from the Burning Man Project. It will be a magical weekend focused on reflecting on and co-creating culture together. We would love everyone joining to come for the whole weekend vs coming up for a single day as day visitors will be disruptive.
