MEA Alumni 2025 Summer Camp in the San Juan Islands August 15-17, 2025

The Seattle Alumni Chapter of MEA is organizing a Summer Camp next August on San Juan Island. All MEA alumni and their friends and families are welcome. If you want to join us, we recommend making a reservation ASAP, by end of October -- Lakedale is very popular in the summer and likely to sell out.

When: August 15-17, 2025

Where: Lakedale on SanJuan Island

What: Water sports, circle, yoga, meditation, crafts, hiking, fireside chats, games, and more!

Cost: Everyone is expected to cover their own costs for lodging, transportation, and food. We also ask each person to contribute to the "collective effervescence" by offering their talent, skills, and wisdom to the programmatic offerings (e.g. lead a morning yoga, hike, game, or circle). This is 100% volunteer run.

RSVP: Registration involves two steps –

Book your desired accommodations at Lakedale (many budget and lifestyle options: campsite, canvas tent, yurt, lodge room, cabin).
Email measeattlechapter@gmail.com to let us know that you'll be attending so that we can keep a good headcount. (subject line: Summer camp)

BIG THANK YOU to Sheila Tallmon, the amazing former camp director, who is organizing the weekend and Seattle co-leaders Aaron Hurst, Marcy Porus-Gottlieb and Val Courtney.

Hope to see you there next summer!
