The Set-up camp is a smaller camp that takes place prior to the Summer Gathering. It starts on the Monday and lasts until Wednesday when people start to arrive for the Gathering. Shared meals are provided from the Monday evening.

Everyone works together to set-up the big tents and other facilities for the Summer Gathering. We also meditate together, have meals together and sit around the camp fire in the evenings. 

Its hard work, good fun and a great way to build community. What is more, the Gathering depends upon people joining the Set-up Camp so joining is an act of generosity, an important Buddhist practice. You can indicate your interest when you book for the Gathering.
