Bioblitz Weekend at UBarU - October 3-5, 2025 Registration is open.
“A bioblitz is a communal citizen-science effort to record as many species within a designated location and time period as possible. Bioblitzes are great ways to engage the public to connect to their environment while generating useful data for science and conservation. They are also an excuse for naturalists, scientists, and curious members of the public to meet in person in the great outdoors and are a lot of fun!” source- https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/bioblitz+guide See https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/flora-and-fauna-at-ubaru-camp-retreat-center for iNaturalist observations at UBarU.

Hello, Fellow Campers! Welcome back to our blog page for UBARU events! I took a brief break, but now I am back in the saddle so to speak… Coming this weekend:
GenderfUUl retreat - August 15-17 2025. Registration is open to any of our genderfluid friends.
The Genderfuul retreat is an affirming retreat where trans, non-binary and agender UUs can build community with each other. From nature walks to spiritual discussions and crafts, we hope that each person is able to relax and connect with the sacredness of being genderful. Our chaplain will foster an environment where everyone is encouraged to acknowledge and value a wide variety of identities, experiences, feelings, and vocabulary.
See the website for registration or more information: https://www.ubaru.org/genderfuul-weekend Coming at the end of the month:
UBarU Star Party - August 29-September 1, 2025 registration has not yet been opened.
