General Info

The 8th Annual 2018 Skepticamp is coming March 31, 2018!

The doors open at 12:30, and talks begin at 1 pm. Mulligan's has good food, and attendees eat and drink throughout the day. We meet at our regular Saturday evening meeting place, which is at Mulligan's Pub (in the original back room on the south side of Mulligan's).

The 'Camp usually lasts until about 5 pm or so, and then we have an after party, sometimes playing board or card games! Invite your friends.
