Fall ’26 – Registration is Open!

115th California Men’s Gathering
Real Men. Real Fun. Real Connection.

Registration for the Fall Gathering (Fri Oct 9 – Mon Oct 12) is now open! It will be held at Pathfinder Ranch, in Mountain Center, CA. Mountain Center is just a few miles from Idyllwild in the San Jacinto mountains of SoCal. If you’re not familiar with the area, see the interactive map at the bottom of this page.

It’s going to be a sweet time with terrific men − both returnees and new friends-to-be. And not only is the optional ROPES CHALLENGE COURSE BACK, but it’s now included in the price (while the limited spaces last, so jump on that!)

If you’re not familiar yet with what a CMG Gathering is, you may want to learn more about our organization and gatherings at TheCMG.org/gather before delving into details about this one.

The bulk of the information about the Gathering and the link to register are in the Official Fall Invitation, one of the useful links found on the FallQuickLinks page.

You can get to the FallQuickLinks page via the orange button below or directly at https://thecmg.org/FallQuickLinks.

If you’re not yet on our mailing list, please join! Membership is free and it’s the best way to stay on top of announcements about our three types of upcoming events − (1) gatherings like this one (2) local events in five CA cities (3) online events. Hop over to TheCMG.org/join to easily sign up for those notes!

We look forward to meeting you either at something soon, especially if it’s at the fun, growth-oriented, and community-building Gathering we’re excited to be presenting at this late summer event!

NOTE: CMG is an all-volunteer registered 501c3 non-profit organization. Every dollar we bring in goes back into creating community at a time when we need it most. It’s something beyond the bars, the apps, and the pasted-on smile events; CMG is simply a place for real people to meet real nice people, grow as individuals, and build community across our great state.

The map below is interactive, if you’d like to click on it to zoom in or out.
