Sharing Our Stories, Our Poetry and Our Hearts
Our 2024 Men’s Gatheringmarks a special time and place for us to be in the here and now, where we shed titles, position, and worldly roles that isolate us from connecting heart to heart with other men.
Small sharing groups, songs, poetry, stories, meditation, drumming, and campfires all help us to connect in the here and now.

Cabin Camp 2 in the Prince William Forest Park
We, the Men of The Leadership Council, are excited and pleased to announce that we have confirmed reservation for our first choice of Cabin Camp 2 in the Prince William Forest Park (in our Nation’s National Park system) near Triangle, Virginia as the setting of our 2022 Chesapeake Men’s Gathering! This is the same Camp as our 2021 Gathering.
Cabin Camp 2 first hosted campers in 1937. For many years, Camp Mawavi, run by the Campfire Girls of America, operated out of this camp. The camp sleeps 149 visitors, and consists of approximately 132 acres. This camp manly contains 4 person cabins, with a few 2 and 6 person cabins mixed in here and there. The units are clustered in a circular arrangement and contain 8 cabins, a bath house, and a lodge. Each unit is in a grassy clearing that is surrounded by dense forest. The large ballfield and lake access in Camp 2 are among the best in the park. Cabin Camp 2 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
