Come camp in the redwoods with us! Tilden is a great area in the hills above Berkeley and Oakland. We have reserved a large campsite and will be kicking off our weekend early with a taco bar in the woods. This is car camping, with restrooms but no showers.

We can help to source camping gear for folks if you want to join but don't know how, there is a sign up sheet linked below.

Some people will be heading up to the hills on bikes, if you want to get some bike-packing into your life.

Schedule:

5:00 -6:30 Thurs: Taco Bar

7:00-9:00 Thurs: S'mores and hang out

Morning - Friday: Coffee and pastries
