Wilderfolk

Free to join

Join the Wilderfolk Camping Club

Joining is free, and it’s how you book a night at Camp Candy Cap, twelve acres of mossy pines and quiet on the Mendocino coast, with the ocean a five minute walk away and a crackling fire full of good people at the end of the day.

What you get

  • Book a night at camp. The campsites are kept for members of the club, so joining is all it takes.
  • Chits from day one, our own camp money, good toward a night by the fire, a guided day on the coast or something from the store, and you’ll earn more on everything you buy.
  • The first word on what’s coming, from new trips to members’ weekends and special events.
  • Your people. It’s a club of folks who love being outside and keep coming back to the fire together.

Want more? Elders and Chiefs get chits every month and the members’ weekends, and you can choose that at the end of the form.

200 chits are waiting at the end of this form. That’s $10 of camp to put toward a quiet night by the fire, a guided day on the coast or anything in the store, and it’s in your account the moment you join.

The Wilderfolk Community Values

Wilderfolk is an intentional community of people, a tribe, who share a love of the outdoors and who love learning about and sharing knowledge about this beautiful earth and all of its amazing gifts. We care most about:

  1. Respect for the earth
  2. Respect for each other
  3. Learning and sharing knowledge

This is a community built on respect and inclusion. That means that we not only tolerate, but we celebrate diversity in all of its forms. We welcome people of every race, gender, age, background, faith and belief. What we don’t make room for is the belief that any of those people are lesser, because that isn’t respect for each other, and respect is what this place runs on. This is a safe place for everyone across the human spectrum, and with a special place in our hearts for families and for children.

Our goal is to build our community through respectful exchange of ideas and knowledge. As such, discussions of politics and religion should be held only with the greatest respect for each other and with the goal of promoting understanding and compassion. We will share this earth for the rest of our lives, and we would do well to always remember it.

We Belong Outside.
