Apply for the Winter Action Camp

Blasting has begun on Coal River Mountain. Increased campaign efforts to stop blasting are currently underway, and Climate Ground Zero has now begun accepting applications for its Winter Action Camp – January 4th-25th.

The camp will involve multiple intensive training tracks, such as action media, legal support, and other skills relevant for this campaign and future actions, and for your campaigns back home. Climate Ground Zero welcomes 30 people chosen by application to take part in the camp.  We are unfortunately unable to accommodate all applicants due to our training and living capacity–we must limit the camp to thirty people.

Taking part in the camp is a three-week, full-time, commitment. Come prepared to work.  A sliding fee between $50-$200 is requested, as your food and housing will be provided. Nobody, however, will be turned away for lack of funds. We are looking for people interested in every role of this action camp – cooks, action medics, climbers, hikers, and more. We prefer people who have had previous action experience, especially those interested in using the skills to build the movement. It will also be important that all of those applying should be comfortable living communally with forty or more other people.

We will not tolerate harassment of any kind and reserve the right to remove anyone at any time.

    Have to wonder what “other skills” means? Tresspass, monkeywrenching,vandalism, oh and I guess Roselle or C G Z has nothing to do with recruiting.

    Love the Green Beret moniker. I think it’s cute and very groovy that you took the symbol of one of America’s elite combat units and turned it into a little name for yourself. You really outdid yourself though when you also co-opted the motto of our Special Forces! It’s these little things that will truly help win over the hearts and minds of middle America to your cause. Keep up the cleverness. It is so very 1968! (p.s. Ease up on the affectation “yall.” It’s not very convincing.)

    Camp? At Rock Creek? Yeah they were all congregated inside when the power was out. You think they would have been converged on the outside celebrating.

    Green Beret: Okay, I will eat crow and apologize to you. You earned the use of the tag. Sorry.

    Green Beret, when you come can you please teach them the basic knowledge of date and time?
