The Virginia NA Campout
Hey everyone – Just want you all to know that while the Covid situation has been a tough one, we are not giving in and are in the process of planning for our event to be held July 16 -18, 2021 at Natural Chimneys Campground in Mt. Solon, VA.
This will be BRANA 39 (still), since it will be the 39th event. Some of our work (theme, artwork, etc.) was completed last year so we have a head start and we are very eager to get on with this thing.
More will be revealed…
Due to the inherent problems with holding a large event during the Covid-19 pandemic and after consultation with Augusta County Parks and Recreation, the BRANA Campout Planning Committee has made the responsible decision to postpone BRANA 39 to July 2021. We are in agreement with the County that with all the issues with social distancing, sanitation and the real danger of exposure to the virus in large groups, the best and safest decision is to postpone the event until next year. This is a disappointing development and we have had to practice some acceptance and acknowledge our powerlessness in this situation.
Refunds: We are working with our event management company (Cvent) to get full refunds to all of those who have registered. Registrants do not need to do anything at this time. We will handle the refund process.
We are looking forward to next summer! BRANA 39 will be held on July 16 thru 18, 2021 at Natural Chimneys Campground, Mt. Solon VA
You may contact registration@branacampout.org for questions.
We have completed the BRANA 39-“The Promise of Freedom” artwork. Our Planning Committee is working hard on recruiting speakers and on all the other details to make this a great event. We are looking forward to another great turnout in July!

BRANA Campout does not pay travel expenses, lodging or in any way compensate any individual that speaks at our events. We feel that the message of recovery should be one that is given freely. We are consistent in that policy as it also pertains to speaker recordings, offering them as a free download on our site.

The 39th Annual BRANA Campout will be held on July 17 –19, 2020 at Natural Chimneys Campground in Mount Solon, VA (map).
Online registration is $60 per person (children are free).
We regret that the fee has increased by $10 for the weekend from last year. We have faced increasing lease fees (we lease the entire campground and stage) over the last 3 years and need to make this change to cover our costs and ensure that the event goes forward in the future.

This year we are reaching out to the NA community and asking for submissions of theme artwork for the 39th Annual BRANA Campout. This year’s theme is “The Promise of Freedom”.
We are asking that any of you artistically inclined NA members who are willing to donate your talent, please submit your artwork idea to: campout@branacampout.org.
The artwork will be used in promotional flyers, on our website and on T-shirts, hoodies and mugs available at the event. Obviously, any tie-in with the theme would be preferable, but not strictly required. Looking forward to hearing from you!
We will be accepting submissions until February 15, 2020 so that we have time to review and get going on flyers and merchandise.
Here is a flyer that may be posted at NA Homegroups/events: Flyer
