_(Note: This post was written by Davis Kingsley in September 2025 and backdated to fill in our organizational history on the website. Sorry for not updating the site for a while!)_ ## Experimental Mini-Workshop (June 2025) In June of 2025, Davis saw that [Arbor Summer Camp](https://www.arborsummer.camp/) was looking for sessions and figured that a program teaching CFAR material might be a good fit! The scope of this project quickly expanded from “just Davis teaching some rationality classes” to include several other instructors and ultimately blossomed into a “mini-workshop” that ended up teaching quite a bit of CFAR material (as well as some new stuff besides!). While the social environment at Arbor Summer Camp and length of the workshop was different from what you might see at a full CFAR event (which tend to be isolated from other groups rather than on a campus with many unrelated tracks running at the same time), this workshop was nevertheless a very interesting and fun experience – and as with our experimental Prague workshops in 2022, it was a good learning experience for our staff as well! Further, while not quite a “full” mainline workshop, this project was the first “workshop-like” content CFAR had presented in a while, and it got us hyped up to do more… following this mini-workshop and a string of test sessions, CFAR announced its upcoming pilot program to test out our new vision for what mainline workshops can be!
