Join OWL August 21st-23rd for a weekend camping getaway at Lake Rebecca Park Reserve! This weekend will be focused on encouraging animal advocates and their friends to appreciate the outdoors and unwind in nature. You can register and sign the waiver form here.

There will be a mixture of optional group activities and free time so you can tailor your weekend to best serve you. The intentions behind these regular meetings are to come together as a community, deepen our self-understanding, develop compassion towards ourselves and others, and become more loving, peaceful, and joyful animal advocates. We welcome all animal advocates and their friends regardless of the kinds of animal advocacy you do, regardless of whatever secular or religious wisdom tradition you believe, and regardless of whatever diet you may eat. If you aren’t able to stay the entire weekend, you can still join us! We would love to see you for however long you are able to come.

Some details:

* Group campsite reserved for up to 25 people
* No dogs are allowed at this event, except service animals individually task-trained to mitigate a disability
* Vegan community meals will be provided
* We will be tent camping, as there are no cabins at the campsite
