It’s time to beginning planning and registration for this year’s DHO Camp, which will again be held at the Alton L. Collins Retreat Center (
https://collins.gocamping.org/) in Eagle Creek, Oregon, near Portland.
This year’s camp will be from Sunday dinner, July 12, through Friday lunch, July 17, 2026.
Any previous dates that were conveyed were in error (apologies from Murad).
Room costs (including meals) will be similar to last year’s, that is:
Double occupancy for 6 days, 5 nights, with all meals: $805/person
Triple occupancy (if available, with 1 upper bunk) with all meals: $660/person
Single occupancy (if available) with all meals: $1015/person
If you want to come for fewer than 6 days, contact Jude.
Day use (lodging off-site) with on-site lunch: $65, with dinner: $45, with lunch and dinner $85. No day use is available without 1 or more meals.
$200 deposit will hold your space, with the remainder due by June 10.
Previous camps have filled up, so early reservations are encouraged.
In addition, we are responsible for a 20% deposit by April 13, so in order to fill that obligation, we will need to make a large payment to Alton Collins by April 13 or risk voiding our contract.
Therefore, if you are able to pay more than the $200 deposit, it will be most welcome.
I will be acting as registrar again this year, so you may communicate directly with me. Payment may be made as follows:
1) by check (made out to me, Jude Sargent, and mailed to me at 922 Stanyan Street, San Francisco, CA 94115);
2) by PayPal (at
judesargent@yahoo.com)(Be sure to label your payment as FRIENDS AND FAMILY, otherwise PayPal will take out a percentage of your payment, and we will ask you to make it up);
3) as a direct bank transfer through Zelle (my Zelle address is 415 336-5749);
4: by CashApp (my address is $judesargent).
5. Venmo, arrange with me if needed.
As you know, classes are taught by senior DHO teachers, and none of them receive any pay or honoraria. All teachers pay their own registration fees and travel expenses. The DHO does not charge dues or maintain a bank account, all registration fees go directly for food and lodging at Alton Collins.
Please make sure to include your contact information (name, address, cell phone number and email address), what room type you want, and names of preferred roommate(s).
Group shuttle service can be arranged from the Portland Airport. Let me know if you want to sign up for that.
Please feel free to call, text or email me with any questions or concerns.
