Note to the community: After considering the community feedback regarding the cancellation of the Mendocino Magic Recess, we have decided to support a Recess Community Campout event in California the same weekend originally planned.   The Campout will be organized by some Recess organizers with the support of community members: Agata Stucka and Rocky Taylor. This event hopes to provide a space for important dialogue and growth for us as a community.  It also will  provide the typical celebratory dance and community space that we all love about Recess!!
​
To see a public statement by Recess Organizers as well as answered questions regarding the current recess conflict, you see that here: Public Statement And Q&A

Recess has always been much more than the sum of its organizers. Our hope is that this community event will help provide a space for important reflection, lessons, and visioning for what Recess has-been, is, and will become. If you are able, we ask that you join us in this important community work. For those wishing to be a part of the conversation, but who can’t make it feel free to leave comments for Recess on this form. 
The Event: The venue is an idyllic campground situated at 5200 feet on Fench Meadows Reservoir and a short walk from the North Fork of the American River.  The vision of this event is a low-fi Recess.   Dancing and celebration in a breathtaking natural landscape, community dinners, and (for those wanting to participate), daytime opportunities to hear and be heard about current issues and desires in the community.  In addition to hiking, swimming, and the usual merryment of Recess. 

Event Accessibility Statement: A camping only event. Potable water on site.   Electricity available only by Recess generators during running hours.  Vault toilets are available throughout the campground.  RV and car camping available.  Recess kitchen available for community use all hours except 3pm - 7pm daily.  Only vegetarian dinners are provided for those purchasing the meal plan.  No cell phone or internet service. 

Meals: The Recess Community Campout will offer community vegetarian dinners every night.  The cost to buy into the dinner meal plan will be $20.  Otherwise, the Recess kitchen will be open for community use during all other hours.  THIS EVENT WILL NOT BE PROVIDING BRUNCH NOR A LATE NIGHT MEALS.  BE SURE TO PACK FOOD ACCORDINGLY.
