Before Camp:
Flat Stanley Project – Can’t make it to CFT? Let your Flat Stanley come instead
I had this idea when talking with Hawkfeather at BLFC last weekend - how fun would it be if we do a YCH-style cutout of people’s characters, and treat them like a Flat Stanley?
For those of you unaware, the Flat Stanley Project is a super cute thing a teacher came up with (based on the Flat Stanley books) where people make a little cut out friend, then send it out on adventures.
Since furries are SUPER good at playing and having fun with things like this, Flat Stanley versions of people’s char…

Ham Radio – Join the frequency and sound off with your call sign
Hi radio folks, time again to sound off with your callsign to get in on the fun.
I’ll be bringing my 70cm repeater again this year. The antenna 20’ up a tree seemed to have pretty good reach last year.
440.275 MHz, PL 100.0 (standard +5.0MHz offset)
I’m also planning on bringing my FT-891 and G5RV for some HF action. Feel free to stop by and get on the air. If you don’t have your General+ catch me when I’m around to act as control and use my callsign.

The Hookah Lounge – 24/7 un-hosted relaxation spot
There might be smoke coming from camp but at least it’s not an erupting volcano!
An unattended Hookah lounge awaits any and all campers who want to get in out of the pre-historically hot sun and puff up a cloud or two. A shade space full of rugs, pillows and sketchbooks for relaxing and socializing - one hookah apparatus is available as well as some shisha and charcoal but please bring some to share with new and old friends alike.
As previous campers may know, the hookah tent blew away last ye…
Kuwa’s Protection Services – Wet wipes, earplugs, and sexual hygiene products for those who need them
Howdy, fellow CFTers!
Like last year, I will be offering my protection services to all CFT goers. Someone needs a pipe to the knee? Would someone look good in a new plastic bag mask? Have a nominee for the grand prize of brand new cement shoes? Well, look no further! They don’t call me Kuwa “Mack-the-Knife” for nothin’, and I’m back in town!
Wait, wait. Wrong event. Shoot. Um… DIFFERENT protection services are offered at CFT. ^.~
Swing by Camp Witch Trial to pick up your druidic magical items…
Let’s Find Those Eggy Boys! – Hunt for dino eggs with prizes near Nevada Camp
Hello Everyfur!
My name is Lola Gene, and I’ve got a little something planned for CFT this year.
In the event that you run into me around Nevada camp, and if you’re exploring the amazing surrounding woods, there will be a little surprise in store for you.
Think “archaeological excavation”. I’ll be planting a limited (emphasis on limited as I may not be able to make too many of them) supply of “dino eggs” around my camp in various areas. If you manage to find one, hurrah! Inside will be a lit…
No Ifs, Ands, or BUTTS! – Pick up cigarette butts, trade in for prizes at Camp Witch Trial
Hey you lot! Last year we had a real problem with cigarette butts being tossed willy nilly about camp. This is a real problem - not just because littering is gross and uncool or damages our standing with the park service, but because it’s an AWFUL fire hazard. To this I say thee NAY! But what to be done?..
Why, trade, of course! Khajit has prizes if you have butts!
As long as supplies last, and provided I’m at my camp being a lazy catfox, you can pop by and trade me 10 butts for - wait for it …
The Exquisite Corpse – A collaborative writing exercise at The Archives. You may only read the last sentence of the previous writer for context. Full reading on Sunday night.

TrippCat’s Litter Box – Porta-potties and hand-wash stations donated for all to enjoy
The camping life is not for the faint of heart (or faint of nose) and in the heat of dino-country the piles of “leavings” can get pretty tall! By the end of CFT, the vault toilets leading to the pits of despair can be more than a little stinky. And maybe some of the dirtier dogs are ok with that but as for us felines it’s a different story. I and some fuzzy friends will be having (with the full knowledge and enthusiasm of staff) two groups of 4 Portapotties brought to …

Summer Bounty – Bring fresh summer produce to camp to share
Let’s all feed the exotic creatures that call Furrassic Park their home!
Although the Furrassic Park Mess Hall is going to be serving up some dino-mite grub, how great would it be to grow some produce from our own front yards, back porches, and community gardens and feel the awesome pride of watching our fellow campers enjoying the fruits (and veg) of our labors!
Fresh fruit items such as foraged blackberries from clean locations are totally welcome too.
After the produce is received (You can…

Tea Tasting at The Archives – Settle into camp with a relaxed tea tasting session and discussion at The Archives
Do you like tea?
Are you curious about what’s out there, beyond mass-market teabags and the stuff that comes pre-brewed in a bottle?
Join us Thursday, After Dinner at The Archives in Blue Camp.
(Bring a heat-resistant drinking vessel of some kind. Also, a chair might not be a bad idea—I don’t know how much seating will be available.)
With the help of @Senoy , I will be hosting a tasting of a few teas you might not have tried before, and I’ll be doing my best to talk about the world of loose le…

We’ll start at 9 am on Friday with a quiet meditation, then I’ll guide you through a simple, low-impact routine. Lots of good stretching and simple warm-ups will definitely give you the right vibes to make the mo…

Mysterium – A co-op who-dunnit board game about being 1920’s mediums
Hey folks, I was thinking about getting together at least one big game of Mysterium. It’s an abstract game about interpreting some wild art chosen by the person playing the “ghost”
It’s a 7 person game, and if we top out, I can just help run it (which generally makes things go pretty smoothly) It’s about a 2 hour time commitment, probably in at least one afternoon (maybe more if we feel like it)
Anyone interested?

Jurrasic VR- Play virtual reality games in Nevada Camp
So I was thinking how cool it would be to set up a VR space in a very large canvas type tent and possibly hold small tournaments and games. Possibly theme the mega tent to be like a Jurassic research station or something.
I could absolutely do it, I have the tent, power, computing and VR… I’d just like to know if this would interest anyone or if it would be perceived well. The event takes place over my birthday and I’ve never been to CFT before, so I think it would be a great way to start off!

Wine (Cheap) and Cheese (Processed) Tasting (Consumption)– Eat cheese, drink wine, look at art
Nope, just toothpicks and little solo cups! Maybe some store brand lemon lime soda to mix with the wine, too!

Greetings, fellow camp compatriots. 'Tis I, the Fakest of men. I’m going to go out into the world and find the best cider I can get my grubby little paws on. What I can’t find, I’m gonna make. I hope to get some new and interesting ones, but I’ve been a bit out of the cider loop now that I live in Reno, Just gives me something interesting to do this summer.

Why, there are trinkets and trifles from all across the map to be found, strange fossils from the back of someone’s closet or dug up from buried deep in the dust of their storage units. Perhaps you’ll find a true rarity, stones or petrified pieces …
