Camp Antioch

Camp Antioch 2007 was the start of a great tradition and left alumni and guests with memories that will last them a lifetime. Camp Antioch 2008 will be held Friday through Sunday, July 18 to 20, 2008. This is one event you don't want to miss in terms of having fun, networking and the many personal growth opportunities.

About Camp Antioch

The idea of an adult camp weekend was the outgrowth of a suggestion by an Antioch College alum. As was done last year, Camp Antioch will be held on beautiful Vashon Island, a 15 minute ferry ride from West Seattle, Tacoma or the Kitsap Peninsula. Amenities include waterfront property on Quartermaster Harbor and wooded areas, meeting rooms and sleeping cabins along with delicious and satisfying meals.

The camp provides opportunities to engage the body, mind and spirit. Workshops and facilitated discussions are led by faculty and alumni on a variety of topics. Last year's topics included friendship, nature photography, spiritual reflection, storytelling and finding mid-life energy. Physical exercise options included dance, music, beach walks and exercises emphasizing leadership building.

Of course, no beach retreat would be the same without campfires, smores, songs and many one-on-one conversations. Plenty of time is factored in for the spontaneous and unexpected.

Who Can Come?

Alumni, partners and friends from all six Antioch campuses are invited to attend and bring their own bedding and bath towels plus toiletry items (shampoo, toothbrush, etc.). Vegetarians, vegans or those alumni who have dairy or wheat allergies can also be accommodated.

Proposed Schedule, Registration Form, Directions, Rules and Regulations

The reason the first Camp Antioch was such a success was because alumni provided input regarding what kind of workshops and other activities would appeal to them. Please review the proposed schedule and contact Eric Warn regarding suggestions as to workshop topics and any other activities you would like to see take place. Also available is a registration form, directions and a list of Camp Burton rules and regulations.
