COMA’s 44th Clark Rogerson Foray

Registration for COMA’s 44th Clark Rogerson Foray (9/27/24 to 9/30 24) is now OPEN.

Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out, this foray is suitable for those of any skill level, from beginner to advanced. We will have an outstanding roster of invited mycologists and expert identifiers on hand, and foraging on the 460-acre premises and surrounding parks is always excellent. (We normally collect and identify close to 400 species.) Overnight accommodations at the 2024 location (Berkshire Hills Eisenberg Camp, Copake, NY) are similar to those of a motel; all guest rooms have their own private bathroom & shower, and the home-cooked meals (the camp can accommodate most special diets) and all-day access to the heated pool make this facility unique.

On Saturday & Sunday there will be scheduled outings to designated parks, and the event features both afternoon and evening programs or workshops, with “social hours” (snacks, drinks, music) starting at 9 PM each night. You may register for the “full” foray, 3 days, 2 days, or even a single day.

There will be a limited number of single-person rooms available, and these will be assigned on a “first come, first served” basis. (Please see the registration link for details.) There are also several options for sleeping 3 or even 4 people in “family” rooms, and we are pleased to pass along a 50% discount that the camp offers for children 12 and under. Please let us know if you are interested in the family rooms and/or the children’s discounted rates. (Questions? [email protected])

For the past several years, this event has filled up quickly, so we strongly advise reserving a spot ASAP. Go to https://www.comafungi.org/clark-rogerson-foray/ (Registration deadline: Monday, September 9th.)
