“Live” Virtual Session Information

All sessions below will be using the same link/number! To join the current session, you can:

  1. Click here.
  2. Login to Webex, click “Join a meeting”, and enter the meeting number 850 178 678.
  3. If your Internet is not working, you can join by phone at +1-415-655-0003. After dialing in, enter the meeting number 850 178 678.
    • Sometimes copying and pasting the Webex meeting link into an Internet browser works better to log on – Google Chrome works best.
    • TESTING: If you want to test your webcam, microphone, and speakers ahead of time, click this link.
    • To download the Webex app for your computer, phone, or tablet, click this link.

Here are some helpful tips when for Webex:

  • Turn your webcam on: Wi-Fi or a full 4G connection will provide bandwidth so that your video does not freeze.
  • Sound/Audio: Using a headset with a microphone is recommended if possible. You can use your computer audio and be sure your speakers are hooked up and your volume is up! If your computer audio is not working, we recommend choosing the “Call me” option of the program to ring your phone for audio.
  • Use the mute button until you are ready to speak.
  • Safety: For anyone under the age of 18 years old, an adult must be present in the home or nearby throughout the virtual session.
  • The private messing “chat” function can be used to contact the facilitator privately if needed.

Please refer to the handouts you received in your “camp in a box” for further details about each session and what materials are needed (items included in the box or needed from home/hospital room). A recording of each live session will be posted on this page, you can click on the blue links, throughout the weekend for you to access if you are not able to make the live session.
