Frequently asked questions

  • It’s a six-day, women-only event on private land in the wilds of southern Oregon.

    Our camp emphasizes feminist theory, movement strategy, and the organizing skills needed to make our revolution happen. 

    We also know that a gynocentric culture of resistance is crucial to our survival, so music, art, and friendship around the campfire are also on the agenda. 

  • DescripCamp starts Tuesday, June 24 and goes through breakfast on Monday, June 30. While we would love for you to join us for the entire time, please come for whatever portion of that time works for you. The last arrival day is Friday. Programming will run Wednesday morning through Sunday. Sunday after lunch we will have an official Good-Bye as we know many women will have to travel home, but for those able to stay, we have more fun in store. Camp departure is after breakfast on Monday, although we’ll be thrilled if some of you can stay to help clean up. tion text goes here

  • Beyond that, Camp is for members of WoLF and our friends. If you’re not a WoLF member (yet…), fill out the Camp registration form and check the “Not a member” box. We’ll arrange a friendly Zoom to see if we’re a good fit. 

  • · If you are curious about radical feminism, yes. 

    · If some of it makes sense but maybe not all of it, yes. There is plenty of room for dialogue!

    · If you’re afraid you don’t know enough, don’t be afraid—come! We know you know enough. 

    · If you don’t know any other radical feminists, well, that can be hard. But we’ll make sure you have a great time. And you’re sure to leave knowing a whole bunch of us! So come!

  • Everywhere, women's spaces are under attack. A man only has to claim he "feels like" a woman if he wants to break the boundaries of sex-segregated spaces such as bathrooms, homeless shelters, women’s colleges, and women’s prisons. WoLF cannot accept this destruction of our very necessary private and sacred spaces, so we have put our paws to work to create our Camp.

    Women’s spaces provide for:

    · Respite from constant emotional, physical, and sexual subordination by men

    · The psychological liberation of experiencing woman-identified values and practices

    · The creation of friendships and political community that is not possible if men are present

    · A glimpse of true freedom 

    All oppressed people have a right to their own spaces. Such spaces are crucial to our survival as individuals and the strength of our resistance movements. WoLF will never retreat from defending women-only space!

  • Camp is being organized by a small group of dedicated women from WoLF.

  • The event is being held on private land in southern Oregon. To maintain safety in these times of severe misogynist backlash, we aren’t divulging the location of Camp until the day before the event.  

    Once you are registered, you will be given general directions to the event so you can make travel plans. 

    On Monday, June 23, registrants will receive an email with the exact address and directions.

  • Tickets are sliding scale ranging from $100-$275 depending on your dates and means. Pick the level that works for you. (See full price chart below)

  • Cost includes full access to programming and activities, camping space, and all meals starting Tuesday breakfast and ending Monday breakfast. 

  • It’s true, there are no House Elves at Camp. It’s a lot of work to get that many women fed, and everyone able-bodied has to pitch in. There is a place to request your preferred work shift time on the registration form.

  • You have until June 9 to get it done!

  • There are flush toilets and hot showers! There are also local motels and Air BnBs not far from the site for anyone who prefers not to camp at Camp.

  • There is space for RVs but it’s dry camping, no hookups. 

  • There are motels and Air BnBs near the Camp location. 

  • No, because the camping part of this event is only a small fraction of the cost.

  • Feed women! is a basic feminist principle, and one we celebrate.

    The food will be plentiful and filling, but not elaborate. The main meals are all gluten-free. There will be some gluten-containing food in a separate area from the main food area.

    Beyond that, there are three options: omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan. 

    Coffee and tea will be available all day, as well as simple snacks.

    We can’t accommodate more specific dietary needs than the above. If you have serious or unusual dietary needs, you should bring your own food. If you have questions about the food, please email: lierre@womensliberationfront.org

    Remember to bring your own plate, bowl, mug, and utensils!

  • Sure! There are grocery stores nearby and lots of places that sell ice for coolers.

  • Boys age 2 and under can attend. All girls are welcome but note that some workshop content is not appropriate for young children as there will be frank discussion of male violence, pornography, and prostitution. Please be mindful if you bring kids.

  • The usual for camping:
    tent
    tarp
    sleeping bag
    folding chair
    plate, bowl, mug, utensils
    towel
    personal care items
    flashlight
    warm layers - it can cool down in the evening and early morning
    rain gear in case!

  • Yes, you can. See the price chart.

  • Please! We need all the help we can get! Indicate on your registration form that you would like to arrive early or stay for cleanup and a member of our planning team will be in touch with you.

  • We have work-exchange positions available to help in the kitchen. Check the box on your registration form if you’re interested. Work exchange women can stay at the house; if you are on the kitchen crew you don’t have to camp unless you want to.

    We hope to offer scholarships.

    We also have one paid position for kitchen manager. We can pay someone $1,000 to run the kitchen. Email if you’re interested.

  • We’ll send out the full schedule when it’s available. The schedule will also be printed as a booklet and posted at Camp.

  • Cell service is patchy but it’s there. Internet is available at the house.

  • There is an emergency phone number that you’ll get with the exact address on June 23. But let your family know that they may not be able to reach you immediately in case of emergencies.

  • There is a smoking area. Smoking is not allowed anywhere else. 

  • Yes! Dogs must be on a leash at all times, no exceptions. There’s a $15 charge for each dog.

  • Sure! Everyone is welcome to set up merchandise for sale or information to distribute, for free. You are responsible for your own set-up - chair, table, etc.
