A-Camp

"A-Camp in Rainbow Gatherings

Consumption of alcohol is generally frowned upon and not permitted at the gatherings (although use of other intoxicants is frequent and widespread). A distinguishing characteristic of the U.S. national gatherings is "A-Camp," (meaning "alcohol camp") typically located near the front gate, where those who want to drink alcohol can stay. Gatherings in Europe do not have "A-Camps." Some gatherings in Canada have "A-Camps" and some do not. Wine is tolerated in moderation at some European gatherings, particularly in France, where it is customary to drink wine with the evening meal."
