Join MAW for a mushroom-filled weekend in Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands. Our foray at Camp Sequanota has been an annual event for more than 40 years. It's a great opportunity to advance your mushroom knowledge and get to know other mushroom and nature enthusiasts.

Our guest mycologists are Shannon Nix and Todd Elliott.

Each day we will have mushroom hunting walks at various locations and on Saturday & Sunday we will have workshops -- including mushroom cooking, mushroom ID for newbies, mushroom paper making, fungal felting, mushroom sculpting, and documenting mushroom diversity. In the evenings after dinner on  Saturday and Sunday our guest mycologists will give presentations. Saturday concludes with a night walk, and Sunday evening wraps up with our fourth annual myco-costume/talent show (bring along a costume, a song, a poem, or a skit!)

Your registration includes 8 meals (Friday evening to Monday breakfast), all walks, workshops, and evening programs. (Thursday evening arrival is an extra add-on and will include Friday breakfast and lunch.)

Onsite accommodations options are rustic motel-style rooms, summer camp style cabins, or tenting. (Keep in mind nature is all around so it's possible there may be some small non-human guests in accomodations - staff will do their best to escort any uninvited critters back outside.) There are also a few different hotels within 20-25 minutes of the campus.

It takes many hands to put on this event so please consider volunteering some of your time to help with tasks such as cleaning foraged mushrooms and cleanup at the end of the event.

Note: guests are not permitted to bring dogs to Sequanota.
