For Intention 21, we return to Camp Elphinstone on the Sunshine Coast of B.C.
Nestled in the Georgia Straight, the Camp will be our home for five days, hosting us in heated lodges for sleeping, a large hall for dancing and various common spaces for workshops, mingling and relaxing.
Many of our most legendary Intentions were here at the base of Mt Elphinstone and we are excited to revisit this venue.
All meals are included in your ticket price. We eat in the camp's dining hall with catered lunch & dinner, as well as continental breakfast in the mornings. Please bring any snacks or special items you would miss otherwise, which should be kept in the kitchens in the lodges. Each 32-person lodge has a microwave and a mini-fridge. Be mindful of fridge space for others. This is a 100% Nut-Free facility. More information about food HERE.
All lodges are heated and have regular electric outlets. The beds are single width, vinyl-covered mattresses, so additional bedding, pillows & coosh is highly advised! Ear plugs can be your friend. Any additional decor, lighting or furnishings you wish to bring will serve you well*.
There is one lodge reserved for families and another as a quiet lodge.
*Only painters' tape can be used to attach items to the walls, ceilings and other surfaces - No tacks or push-pins.
Accessibility: All buildings and lodges at Elphinstone are accessible to wheelchairs. The camp staff can shuttle people to the dining hall upon request. All lodges contain accessible washrooms and showers.
ABOUT THIS LAND
We would like to acknowledge the fact that the land on which we are gathering is the traditional, unceded and illegally occupied territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation. We express gratitude for this land and everything that it provides, inviting awareness of how and why the people of Canada have access to all of its beauty and abundance. We strive to leave no trace and to preserve the land wherever we gather. Click here for more information & resources.
