Touch of Nature Environmental Center is a great venue for the Gibbs Conference and a big reason for the conference’s great atmosphere is the venue.\u00a0 The rustic style of the cabins, the group meals, the amazing autumn colors, the star-filled skies and the bonfire at the beach all contribute to creating a relaxed atmosphere, away from distractions and very conducive for scientific exchange.\u00a0 However, keep in mind that it is a camp (not a hotel, not a convention center).\u00a0 Come with an open mind, bring comfortable clothes and enjoy your stay at Touch of Nature!<\/p>\n
