Welcome!

Share in four days of Reclaiming style, Earth-based spirituality, magic, and community!

Join us in the redwoods at Mendocino Woodlands as we weave a web that crosses the generations.

Redwood Magic is a Witchlets-style, do-it-ourselves family camp. For this first year, a pair of paid organizers will anchor logistics and kitchen.

During our time at camp, all of us will be responsible for creating a vibrant, magical experience!

Our new camp grew out of the annual overflow from Witchlets, which fills up by mid-February. We'll start at the smaller campsite where Witchlets began, and while we'll carry on the spirit (and lessons) of the older camp, we will weave our own magic.

This is a community retreat, not a festival or a drop-in camp. We ask that people plan to attend the entire event (unless advance arrangements are made) and be committed to creating camp culture.

Who?

Our camp is open to families and their invited guests, as well as a few teachers and kitchen staff. Folks new to Reclaiming are welcome - read our Principles of Unity here.

Where?

Northern California, Mendocino Woodlands Campsite Three. (Campsite Three is the smaller campsite where Witchlets began.)

The Mendocino Woodlands are a state park operated by a local nonprofit. The site is located just far enough inland from the town of Mendocino to avoid coastal fog. The camp is set among a mature Redwood/Douglas Fir forest, creating a beautiful, peaceful setting. A small creek runs alongside the camp. There is a swimming hole not too far off, although water level can be low in August.

When?

Sunday August 11 (arrive 2-4pm) through Thursday August 15 (depart noon).

How much does it cost?

Full information on cost and registration is available on our Registration Page

How will we do it?

A small organizing team will anchor logistics, with help from campers. We will cover publicity, site logistics, kitchen and meals, finances, and basic health and safety.

For this camp truly to be "redwood magic," we need two more things. Luckily, the redwoods are already there and waiting for us!

The other thing we need is the magic. We will co-create what happens at this camp. There could be morning paths, workshops, swimming, crafts, rituals, singing and drumming, a talent show, a dessert buffett - maybe even some sleep! Each of us will bring offerings, skills, and hopefully an open heart and mind.

We'll invite along a few Reclaiming teachers to help anchor ritual and perhaps paths, but each of us can make offerings during the course of camp. We'll share ideas on our yahoogroup as camp draws closer.
