Those gatherings are taking place all through the west coast. From Seattle to San Diego. Most every folklife, folk society has their outings in the likes of a campout or festival. Connecting is as easy as getting on the net and searching out the festivals and campouts. Mid Columbia just had one last month at Goldendale Wa. The cost for a weekend that includes a giants lodge/hall with full kitchen facilities and sleepping quarters for one hundred people cost a little over $500. Food can be catered and I would guess a price tag of $35 to $40 per person would cover the cost. That is an estimate based on 50% of the hundred folks it would accomodate.To have an event requires a lot of energy from volunteers. Most camps require chore sign ups and can only succeed with everyone doing their share.There are ELC(Ecological Learning Centers) all over the State of Washington. They rent out to large groups very reasonable.ELC's offer hot showers, cots and kitchen facilities and my experience grades them HIGH.We can do it.
