And What Do We Evolutionists Talk About?

Helen Fisher Steven Pinker Charles Darwin

Throughout evolution, ostracism was death indeed.

~ Helen Fisher

Evolution is an indispensable component of any satisfying explanation of our psychology.

~ Steven Pinker

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.

~ Charles Darwin

Lodging

We highly recommend the camping, btw

Evolution
It's survival of the fittest out there... the location of your nest is important!

Option 1: Camping

Camping, this year at El Chorro Regional Park, has become an increasingly popular option for attendees at the Workshop. In 2016 this will also serve as the location of our Opening Reception Thursday night. The main camping fee is being covered by our sponsors.

This year we have reserved campsites to accommodate 48 people for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, May 5th - 7th, 2016.

Campsite Registration

To reserve one of these camping spots, please select

Option 2: Hotel

There is no host hotel this year. Participant members who will not be doing sponsored camping are urged to reserve at their preferred hotel as soon as possible due to the popular travel weekend that coincides with our workshop.
