Summer Gathering registration is OPEN!!! Here’s the core information:
– the event will be held from Sept 4-7, 2026
– it will be held at a beautiful camp called Camp Newman outside Santa Rosa (see map)
– it’s going to be a sweet time with terrific men
– Our theme is “Imagine”!
The invitation document, with its link to the registration system, also contains details on the camp, assemblies, theme and more.
That invitation was sent to all of the members on our mailing list in early June of 2026.
If you missed or lost that, no worries! The invitation and more are posted for you on this page:
www.TheCMG.org/SummerQuickLinks
The linked-page above not only has that invitation/registration information, but also useful documents such as:
– the form to give a workshop there
– the form to submit your act to the Variety Show
– housing upgrade options for the retreat
– cancellation info
– and more, as the gathering gets closer
We recommend that you memorize or bookmark the easy-to-remember URL above, so you can come back for info without having to find this note time and again. That page has almost everything people write to ask us for. If you need more than that, the contact email is on that page as well.

Is CMG a business? Nope! 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 meet-up games; CMG is simply a place for real people to meet real nice people, grow as individuals, and build community across our great state.
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 wonderful getaway weekend!
