Come join us in fabulous Sandy, Oregon for MacCamp, a weekend-long experience focusing on in-depth instruction and hands-on training opportunities far beyond the General Meeting presentations. The friendly social atmosphere (with great snacks and available hot tub) provides additional learning opportunities and the frequent occurrences of new friendships.

The fall is when Apple usually releases new versions of their operating systems, and this year is going to be a doozy. Apple has announced an ambitious plan to create a new visual language and have that underpin all their platforms together for a more unified experience. They are calling it Liquid Glass, and it brings in a host of dynamic elements. This new splashy look is still a work-in-progress, so expect a lot of muttering from your MacCamp class leaders.

What we expect to cover in Saturday classes:

• macOS 26 Tahoe introduces more the new visual look and refreshed icons.
• ipadOS 26 will introduce a new multitasking mode that can make an iPad more Mac-like than ever before, or it can still provide the same simplicity you’ve come to know and love.
• iOS 26 will streamline some experiences on the phone to help you focus on getting work done. It will also pave the way for future Apple Intelligence features.
• watchOS 26 has a new workout buddy to help motivate you during exercise sessions.

On Sunday, we will have a class about your Apple Account to help you learn what it’s good for and how to use it.

We also have some fun new activities to look forward to:

• Friday night will not have catered dinner. Please make your own arrangements – bring something with you or stop and eat on the way.
• Saturday night we will have a pizza party.
• There will be a treasure hunt-like experience available, using Geocaching technology. You can download the Geocaching app ahead of time and Bill & Rita Tomison will help you find geocaches very near to the MacCamp grounds to get you started on your quest. 
• A hot tub will be available, so bring a swimsuit if you want to soak in the good vibes.
