EXPERIENTIAL COMMUNITY

- Camps
Experiential Community and the Black Rock French Quarter village are currently composed of the following camps. Each camp is focused on specific visceral experiences that it shares with the community at large. Members of each camp dedicate themselves to learning and teaching the skills their camp focuses on. Our gifts are not the cocktails, or the doughnuts, or the wine, or the massages - our gifts are the opportunities to share these things with others. For this reason, all of our camps emphasize participation, not just by our members, but by the visitors who come to us from outside our village.

Devoted to the creation of piping hot baked goods, including beignets, cookies, brownies, eclairs, cronuts, wedding and birthday cakes, challah for shabbat dinner, savory ciabatta to be paired with the wine tastings of the Black Rock Vineyards, and dozens of other delights too numerous to mention. |
