Gateway Nakamal

Saturday 2PM

A nakamal is a kava bar. Kava is (to quote Wikipedia) "a drink with sedative and anesthetic properties. Kava is consumed throughout the Pacific Ocean cultures of Polynesia (including Hawaii), Vanuatu, Melanesia and some parts of Micronesia. Kava is sedating and is primarily consumed to relax without disrupting mental clarity." We'll be serving kava on Saturday. Come on by Suncents Coffee and try some.

Belayed Open Climbing

Come to Camp Climbax and climb on our 20' climbing wall! Some equipment will be provided, but please bring your own if you have it. Experienced climbers will be on hand to belay. First timers are suggested to check out our "Intro to Rock Climbing" on Saturday if you are interested in more than just a romp up the wall. On friday, this will start when we have routes up and end when we are tired of belaying you. :-)
