About the event
This three-night mountain retreat includes lodging, 8 chef-prepared meals, drinks, speakers, mushroom foraging, stargazing and a silent disco.Â
Ready for some chef-prepared feasts, local wines, nature walks, mushroom foraging, deep-dive discussions, music, silent disco, stargazing and more?
We are thrilled and honored to collaborate with Raman and Karin at Camp Earnest for this celebration of all things mushrooms.
These dates should be a gorgeous spring weekend, perfect for hunting morel and porcini mushrooms in the surrounding forests.
----------
Meals will be served either on the 75-foot deck of Good People Lodge, in our main dining hall or at picnic tables in the community field. We will offer a nature walk with Dan Webster of the Yosemite Conservancy. Dan will also use his trusty laser pointer to guide us through the cosmos during a stargazing evening in our outdoor amphitheater.
Expect mushroom experts, silent disco, musical performance and singalongs as well.
