Hi all,

I'm inviting anyone who is interested in attending the first California Pantheist Campout in 2008 to join the newly established Yahoo discussion group. This group is for people interested in planning and attending the
first Pantheist Campout for California in the spring or summer of 2008. We welcome all interested parties including adults and families with children!

As this will be an all-volunteer event, we will be looking for ideas for activities, people to organize and lead those activities, etc. Please feel free to invite any interested folk from California and adjacent areas with compatible ideology (such as atheists, humanists, Unitarian Universalists, etc.) to join the group to see if this event may work for them. I would encourage you to especially invite any families with children. My hope to start to create a "real world" community among the pantheists and like-minded folks (as well as folks you know who may be very
compatible with pantheism but have not yet encountered us) in California and adjacent areas. Being naturalistic pantheist parents with children in California (in Tehachapi), I think it would be helpful (and healthy) for my kids to see that there are actually other people out there with similar beliefs to ours.

I'm thinking of starting simple such as perhaps selecting a weekend in the spiring or early summer at a KOA (perhaps the Lake Isabella KOA as there is a local Audubon Society sanctuary and other activities available). Interested folks could then rent a cabin, rent a tent site, or bring their RV. There are also other local campgrounds as well as motels, etc. for those who are unable or do not wish to camp.

Anyone interested?

Here is the link to the group:

Thanks!

a little about me - My wife and I are atheists, humanists, and naturalistic pantheists. We have two elementary school age children and live in the Tehachapi area of California. I work in the field of adoptions with children in foster care, and my wife homeschools our children (and is the local Earth Scouts leader).

Those are some great ideas! I'll be sure to share those on the Campout discussion group.

Now you know, of course, that you could always organize a similar campout on your side of the country. Hint, hint.

I live in the woods. All I got to do is go take a walk to get away from folks.

[QUOTE=Redfrog777;268199]Hey Dave,

This sounds great! We live in Saugus. So I think that we can pull this one off.

I went to the Yahoo site but “I no so smart” It wasn’t obvious to me what to do?


I could bring up my homemade telescope and act like I know what I am doing with it.[/QUOTE]

Drop me a message on my profile and I'll send you an invite to click. You might have to create a Yahoo account but it's free.
