====== Joining The Universe ======

The universe is always expanding!

We don't have monetary dues, mandatory meetings, or anything else like that. We do ask that you read our [[:about|principles]] and take them seriously.

===== How do I invite a new member? =====

We're so thrilled you love our camp enough to invite new members! This is a two part process.

1. We have outlined all the steps necessary to propose new members for The Universe on the [[:policies:new-member|new member policy]] page. These steps ensure a person is a good match for the camp before we actually add them as a member.

2. Once they have gone through the above process, you can add them to the camp! Check out the [[:policies:adding-new-member|adding new members]] page for next steps on getting your pal up to speed.

===== How do I become a member? =====

Membership is open to those recommended by an existing camp member. Please reach out to a friend you know who camps with us to get invited!

We do not accept new members within one week (7 days) of the start of Early Arrival for any event.  This cutoff window is to allow for our cooks to have enough time for meal planning and shopping.
