Sessions & Activities

Sessions

At Camp Curious you'll spend the weekend participating in talks, workshops and experiences that will happen at different indoor and outdoor venues across the camp. You get to choose what you want to participate in. 

What will the sessions be, exactly? Well, that all depends on who shows up and what cool ideas they bring. Since this is a crowdsourced event, session topics will emerge from the group. But here’s the kind of sessions we could imagine hosting:

• How to forage for mushrooms

• Career ideas for slackers

• Writing your memoir

• Birdwatching for beginners

• Psychedelics & self-reinvention

• Post-burnout work lives

• My favorite film (screening)

• How to become an artist — now

• Modern-day: an insider's take on ENM & poly

• Getting started in genealogy

• Painting & photography workshops

• The creative life at 50+

Don’t worry — we’ll seed the board with a few sessions, just to get things rolling. The rest? That’s up to you. If you have an idea for a session, just fill out a session form.
