Polycamp and all of it's Glory... (Olympia, WA)
Marcus Payne
So, last year was a blast and it's time to do it again! There were so
many adventures had- so many families bonding in this awesome
community of ours, and stories to share until the next year where we'd
have that beautiful opportunity to re-live new exciting memories and
relationships.
Last year, some of the adventures that everyone enjoyed were:
~ Live concert featuring SJ Tucker and Tricky Pixie
~ Various workshops on poly topics (everything from Poly 101, Geezer
Poly, to Poly and the Legal System)
~ Karaoki
~ Awesome raffle prizes (silver bracelets, artwork, and so on)
~ Nature hike for children (explored plants, wildlife, and even had
the opportunity to catch crayfish- man those kids loved it!)
~ Vendors
~ Ice Cream Social (hang with your friends or meet new people)
~ Mad Hatter Tea Party
~ Boffer sparring for children (and the big kid in all of us too)
~ Drum circle and dancing by the fire
I'm including pictures from the last season for you all to enjoy:

More like
~ Poor punctuation
(Not meaning to snark the event. It sounds like fun for people who enjoy
big group camp-outs and total immersion in poly families. And that part
of Washington state is pretty at that time of year.)

I would call it poor usage, myself. It's is a perfectly good word, and
is properly spelled; it's just not the word for the job in this case.

Note that "karaoki" is also incorrect (that's why I quoted it).
