6. Center camp:
- The board and center camp infrastructure lead Amelia Graycen put a lot of thought into how to bring coffee to center camp. Amelia’s survey indicates that the majority of you would like to have coffee and tea available, but we don’t have the money to do it for free and charging for coffee would risk bringing in the health department. If people with experience, knowledge, or equipment want to make coffee happen, they can join the Apogaea Café Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/358121370874941/ - Apogaea is making a big investment in Center Camp in terms of time, budget and increased activities. We are looking for people to help with the set up and running of Center Camp including decoration, “orphan performers” and stage managers.
- Center Camp Infrastructure Lead, Amelia Graycen, is responsible for setting up the space and has a great vision to make Center Camp a place for all Apogaeans to gather to hang out, contribute to community art projects and participate in orphan performances.
- Orphan Performances Lead, HollyG, is responsible for recruiting and coordinating any and all who need a venue to share their skills and talents. This includes, but is not limited to: workshops, skill sharing, crafting, live music, spoken word/poetry, healing, yoga, etc.
