COMEDIAN

Comedian Ivy Le will be doing stand up for us! Ivy is a Vietnamese American stand-up comedian, actress, and writer based in Austin, Texas. In addition to creating the critically-acclaimed Spotify Studios podcast FOGO: Fear Of Going Outside, Le co-hosts the only queer comedy mic in Austin, co-produces Austin Sketch Fest, and performs at comedy festivals all over the country. She speaks Spanish, German, Vietnamese, and English, and is a mom of two rad kids. She is currently writing a script about a ninja who decides to level up her life by going to coding camp and an essay collection: Elder Bisexual.

NIGHT HIKE

Take a walk on the wild side with a group night nature hike! The leisurely hike will go through the forest on the Rainbow Ranch Campground where often times raccoons, opossums, armadillos and whitetail deer are often seen. We will also get to hear the symphony of nature sounds from Cicadas to Tree Frogs. If you get a headlamp or flash light for this, try to get one with a red light setting. Your eyes are less sensitive to the longer wavelengths of red light, so your night vision will be less affected by it. Part way through the hike, we will enter an open field where you will get to view the vast Texas night sky with very little light pollution. This is often a very memorable experience for attendees.

OUTDOORFEST T-SHIRT MAKING

Bring a t-shirt with you, any color except a super dark color like black, royal blue, dark gray, etc. and take a trip back to summer camp with us we do group t-shirt making. We will provide the supplies and you just come with a shirt and a bottle of wine…if you’d like!

YOGA

We will be offering two different types of yoga you can participate in. Buti yoga and sunrise yoga. Buti Yoga will take place at night with body paint and black lights…think a gay club meets yoga meets nature. Still can’t picture it? Then just do it, everyone loves it! We will also be offering sunrise yoga! If you need a break for serenity and peace, sunrise yoga might just be the thing you need!
