Oct 2(1 event) 7:00 pm: EHC Virtual Campfire (online) – Imagine the warmth of a crackling campfire, the sound of laughter, and the joy of shared stories—all from the comfort of your own home! At the EHC Virtual Campfire, happening on the first Wednesday of every month from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, we’re keeping the camp spirit alive and well. Every month, we kick things off with exciting updates on our camp programs and facilities—what’s new, what’s on the horizon, and all the inside scoop! Then, we open the floor for everyone, from alumni to first-timers, to check in, share what’s on their minds, and connect with each other. It’s your chance to catch up with old friends or make new ones in our ever-growing camp family. And what’s a campfire without music? Expect some familiar camp songs, surprise musical performances, and maybe even a special guest or two. You never know what magic the night will bring! Some months we’ll go the extra mile with holiday celebrations, surprise announcements from LightHouse, or other exciting resources that’ll keep you coming back for more. So grab your marshmallows, settle in, and RSVP to join us for an evening of fun, friendship, and campfire vibes. To sign up and get the zoom link for our monthly gathering please RSVP with Jamey Gump at JGump@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7372. |
