Greetings!

Yes it is time, time to start the planning of the Sixth Annual Pagan Campout. It is very hard to believe yet oh so wonderful that it has been ongoing for six years. Many people and groups have attended, many new friends have been made and wonders explored. We would like to invite you to join in the fun and fellowship we all have enjoyed at this event. Spread the word about the campout! Tell your friends, post it on groups, message boards and any place you can think of - it will only make the campout bigger and more enjoyable for all! I hope to again see all my friends from near and far join us for the merriment we all have shared in the past.

The price this year is the same - just $10 per family!

So what is the Pagan Campout?
It is a gathering of pagans who want to enjoy some camaraderie together, have a few laughs, get away from the hectic lives we all seem to live and relax. The campout is not sponsored by any group or organization and has no agenda other than having a good time. Of course it is camping, in a tent, on the ground, in the woods, out in the weather, cooking over fires, swimming, hiking, exploring and doing whatever comes to mind. The Pagan Campout is what ever you choose to make it because, in the end, it is you who makes the campout.

Who comes to the campout?
Why pagans of course! Last years campout had people attend from all the way in Lewiston ID - 300 miles away. Those that attended came from various backgrounds, different beliefs and traditions. Some had lots of camping experience while others had none. One thing everyone who came did have in common was a great time and wonderful experience sharing their ideas and beliefs with others while learning new things for themselves.

When is the campout?
The campout is during the Summer Solstice again this year. We did this last year for the first time and it was a great experience for all those who participated so we are doing it again. Participation is optional of course; sometimes it is better to just sit back and take in what is offered in the sacred circle of nature.

Where is the campout?
The campout is at Beaver Creek Campground at the north end of Priest Lake. This is a U.S. Forest Service campground. Though many people do go to Priest Lake not as many venture to the north end where this campground is making it somewhat secluded. The group site that is used is separated from the rest of the campground and surrounded by tall wonderful conifers and leafy deciduous trees on three sides. Only a short walk, about 100 feet, from the open field is magical Beaver Creek. Some have even found small gems in the creek.

    I'm so excited! I'm ready to have 3 days of spiritual growth with my closest friends! I'll be ready with the first aid kit and I would love to offer a craft this year. I will be thinking on what would be fitting for Summer Solstice. :)

Who attended?

    •  As usual I had a great time. I really appreciated the efforts of Sal and Rusty and those who volunteered to help me with the Summer Solstice Ritual. The rain wasn't too bad and the weather was relatively nice. After hours was a little loud, I apologize for Friday and quieted down when I found out what time it was but some people really disregarded that especially on Saturday. All in all it was a great campout as usual. Look forward to next year. 
    •  I thought that the campout was alot of fun. Everyone was more than hospitable and the ceromony went off great. i am glad that i got to meet so many new people i had a lot of fun, thank you everyone. blessed be. 
    •  Maybe I could have slept a little the second night, but other than that, it couldn't have been better. I can't wait for next year!
