FRIDAY NIGHT POTLUCK

We will be bringing back the popular Friday night potluck. This is a fun way to welcome everybody to the event and socialize with colleagues. Look back here closer to the event to sign up to bring a dish.
Potluck Sign Up
​PREPARE/WHAT TO BRING
  • Bring a sleeping bag, sheets/blanket and pillow. Bunk beds are bare and bedding is not provided!
  • Winter Gear (warm waterproof shoes, coats, gloves, etc. & snow shoes if you have them. )
  • Trade Blanket Items (if you are staying for Saturday evening, a fun swap will be held of gently used items.)
  • A few dollars for raffle tickets, NYSOEA store, and workshop fees
  • Gently used or new items to donate for the lunch time raffle (proceeds go to the Brother Yusuf Campership. We usually raise enough money from raffle ticket sales to send at least student to camp!)
  • Instruments for the campfire sing along, if you play one.​
TRADE BLANKET
Come to barter, bargain, maneuver, laugh and celebrate at the Saturday night trade blanket. If you are lucky and play it right, you might leave with a treasure. Past coveted items have included handmade artwork, animal pelts and tracks, homemade tinctures, jewelry and invitations for homemade dinners (and the list goes on).  So, bring some homemade goodies or other gently used items to trade and barter for something special.
​

BOOK CLUB

In past years, we have had a book club that reads a book before the conference and then has a group discussion at the event. Past books include: James Edward Mills' book “The Adventure Gap: Changing the Face of the Outdoors” and Robin Wall Kimmerer's book "Braiding Sweetgrass".

If you are interested in leading a book group, email Kate Phipps at VP_Administration@nysoea.org.
