Berry Camp 2023

This is a member's only event. All participants must become members of the Redding Forager's Association. Membership dues will be waived for new member participants, as part of the ticket cost will go towards covering any applicable membership dues. Before you register for Berry Camp 2023, make sure to print, fill out, and return this membership agreement application. Make sure to include *Berry Camp 2023* somewhere in the application. Once approved for membership, we will be in touch to finish the registration process.

The campsite is a dispersed campsite- meaning there are minimal facilities. There is a bathroom onsite. There is no electricity, but the event host will have a generator or battery packs for charging phones and tablets. Participants must bring their own hiking and camping gear. Event host will bring water & supplies. All trash must be packed out. 

Participants are expected to pay a 50% deposit ($225) to register and hold their space. The remainder of the balance must be paid off in full before the date of the event. Terms of payments can be negotiated individually and there will be no interest charged. 

Deposits may only be partially refunded due to cancellation. 

There is a possibility of a sponsorship for this event. We are unsure how many sponsorship spaces we will have available, but we are willing to figure something out as time progresses. If you cannot afford a ticket, but still would like to participate, please fill out this form here. We will get back to you within 3 to 5 business days to let you know the status of your application. Final picks will be announced within 2 months of the event.

Transportation will be arranged from a yet to be announced rendez-vous point in Redding, CA to the private campgrounds and return. Shuttle will leave Redding by noon on Friday August 4 and return to Redding by 3:00pm on Sunday August 6. 

Participants will have to arrange for their own transportation to and from the Redding meet up location. Participants will not be allowed to transport themselves to the campground due to limits on vehicle quantity at the site (less vehicles = less impact on environment). Emergency transportation back to Redding will be covered by the hosts if necessary in the event of any unanticipated accidents.

Any transportation fees are included in the ticket price.

The main instructor for the event will be Kyle Dall, one of the founders of Redding Forager's Association. Kyle has been foraging a large part of his diet for the past 5 years. He leads local foraging and plant ID walks, as well as teaching various processing classes and workshops. 

Miranda Hull is another local forager and the other founder of Redding Forager's Association. She has extensive plant knowledge, including advanced propagation and wild tending techniques. Miranda is an expert wild food cook and can make 5 star gourmet meals from any ingredients you give her. 

Yes, this is a family friendly event. Children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult parent or guardian. Kids 12 and under may attend the event free of cost; 13 or older must have their own individual tickets.
