(Yes, it’s shorter than usual. Read on for more details.)

Spring has been struggling to break even financially for many years, due simply to attendance and the basic cost of the conference. Therefore, we will run a 6-day conference. (The usual 8-day conference is totally out of reach, financially.)

We don’t actually have quite enough money for a 6-day conference. If you want (and are able) to donate to Spring, you can do so here: https://www.springsummercamp.org/asp-products/donate-to-spring/

Our optimistic belief is that this shorter conference is a one-time stopgap. We’re committed to making it as dreamy as possible, and we’re so happy to be co-creating community with you this summer.

At Spring, we value a culture of purposeful inclusion and value the diversity of racial and cultural identity and background, nationality, sexual and affectional orientation, gender identity and its expression, religious background and belief, marital status, family structure, age, mental and physical health and ability, political perspective, and educational and class status.
