Set in a lush, 200-acre private resort & campground in Maryland, Camp Ramblewood has all the rolling hills, woods, courts, cabins, meeting rooms, fire pits, and hiking trails you could ever want, plus a barn, pavilion, dance hall, pond, haunted mansion, a private island, and more.

What does "participatory" mean?

It means all attendees are expected to bring a project to ALPHA (art, demonstration, performance, talk, workshop, etc). You DO NOT have to register your project at the time of your ticket purchase, but we encourage you to do so as early as possible. Registration: http://bit.ly/4g81Nx5
