Northern California Mid-Summer Gathering 2021-SOLD OUT

Join CMEN celebrating the warm, clothes free days of summer at the Northern California Mid-Summer Gathering July 27 – August 1, 2021, at a secluded 400 acre retreat center in California’s scenic Sierra Foothills east of Auburn.

This all male, all nude event is planned to include pool activities, scenic hikes, a variety of seminars and workshops, themed social hours, evening shows, dances, parties, lots of nude men and MUCH MORE!

CMEN’s first Northern California Gathering, held in August 2014, was a great success with 100 men attending. The following Northern California Gatherings were also a huge success with about 120-125 men attending each one. We made new friends and had a great time together.

We think you will greatly enjoy CMEN’s Northern California Mid-Summer Gathering!

Social Hour & Evening Themes

Among the highlights of each day at the CMEN gatherings are the late afternoon social hour parties and evening events.

Just for fun, the social hour parties and evening events have a different theme each day. While nudity is still the overall rule, gathering attendees are encouraged (but not required) to wear accessories that correspond to the theme for the social hour and evening. Social hour “costumes” can range from a simple cap or hat to the outlandish.

Themes for the Mid-Summer Gathering 2021:

• Tuesday, July 27 – Rainbow of Colors:  Which is your favorite color in the rainbow? Wear your favorite color cap and accessories this evening. Together, we each add a color to form a rainbow.
  
• Wednesday, July 28 – Men in Uniform:  There’s nothing like the smell of a man in uniform! Do you most admire the men who protect our country, the officers who preserve the peace, the doctors who heal, or the postmen who deliver? Wear your favorite uniform accessories and be prepared to serve!
  
• Thursday, July 29 – Leather or Knot:  Yes Sir!  The masculine aroma of men in black leather fills the air.  Will tonight be the night of your fantasies?  look your best in polished motorcycle boots, black leather cap, harness, and other accessories.
  
• Friday, July 30 – Red Hot!  Everything is red hot! Wear your favorite red cap or hat, red sandals, red wig or other red accessories this evening.
  
• Saturday, July 31 – Viva Mexico!  Time to take a fantasy visit South of the Border to old Mexico. Come naturally native with nothing but a sombrero and a colorful poncho from Puebla. Experience the sounds of Mariachi music, Spanish guitars, and erotic dancing!
