Folks gathered at our last Haven camping trip at Anthony Chabot, 2022.

Summer is camping time in the Bay Area, and we’re looking forward to our next opportunity to camp as a community. On July 21 - 23, all Haven attenders are invited to camp at a group site we've reserved in Anthony Chabot Regional Park (Castro Valley). Because the site is local in the East Bay, those who may not be up for spending the night are welcome to consider coming for the day on Saturday, July 22.

The camping site opens at 2pm on Friday.  We currently have a short hike planned in the afternoon followed by dinner at 6:30pm and then a campfire and s'mores at 7:30pm.  Saturday will have an early morning fishing opportunity followed by breakfast, a walk by the lake or kayaking on the lake, then lunch, afternoon activities (think board games, water balloons, 3-legged race, talent show), and then a bbq at the campsite at 5:30pm.  After dinner we're planning a wiffle ball game and campfire with s'mores at 7:30pm.  Sunday morning will have breakfast followed by a group reflection time, cleanup and packing up cars to leave the campsite.

The cost for the weekend is $45/adult or teen and $15/child (12 and under). This includes 5 meals (dinner Friday - breakfast Sunday). Folks not staying the entire weekend will be charged a pro-rate of $10/meal ($5/meal for children).

Also please be sure to check out the attached Google Sheet for a full schedule of the weekend and to sign up to help with meal prep, serving, and cleanup!  You can choose which slot works best for you. Thank you!
