Camp Crabtree in Umstead Park
Justice in a Changing Climate and Religious Education invite EVERYONE to join us for the evening, the overnight, the morning, or all three!
Let’s remember “how to be good guests, how to walk lightly on the earth like its other creatures do.” — Barbara Ward
Have you ever made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls?
Are you longing to plant something and watch it grow?
Do you want to make an organic, nut-free, gluten-free, protein-rich snack?
Would you like some new ideas for reducing your carbon footprint and walking lightly on the earth?
Considering Camping?
Spend the night if you’d like. There are plenty of small rustic cabins - each has three or four single beds with mattresses. Tents are not allowed on the grounds.
If you don't want to camp, come for the afternoon and evening – join in activities and a potluck supper! Or just come for morning prayers at 10AM.
The park gates close at 8PM, and no one is permitted in or out after that time. Please join us until 7:30PM, and then make your way out, or count on spending the night!
