Every 2 years we have a Camp UBPN in the USA for all of us to meet and talk and do activities. They have specialists who come and put on seminars as well, or demonstrations (aqua therapy..).

Take a look at the Camp UBPN board at the bottom. The next Camp is in 2010.

The details of Camp 2010 are still being worked on by the Board of Directors. This process takes a long time because there are so many different ideas and requirements for each camp. As soon as we have more finalized details, we will let the community know.
