This year we are returning to <ahref="https://www.shepherdsspring.org/facilities" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shepherd's Spring Camp & Retreat Center</a> in the woods, about an hour outside of DC. With the stress of the past few yearsyear, we want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the cities to a place where we can destress with our friends both new and old. Spending time in nature is good for you. Don't take it from us, <ahref="https://www.nbcnews.com/better/pop-culture/how-nature-can-solve-life-s-most-challenging-problems-ncna749361" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">that's just science</a>! Plus, eating s'mores in front of a campfire after a day of civic hacking is pretty much the best thing ever.
During registration we’ll ask if you’d like to lead a team — say yes! We’ll be in touch in early July with potential projects. We’ll brief you on expectations and put you in touch with your nonprofit. You'll work with them in advance of the event to take care of project requirements, milestones, and initial setup so you can hit the ground running with your team at Ruby for Good. Setup includes creating a GitHub repo under the Ruby for Good GitHub, filing issues to work off of during the event, and making some technology suggestions.

Don't worry! Team leads don’t work alone, most projects have multiple leads working together as a group. There are also several people who help across the teams that you can get support from. If you want to know what it will be like to lead a team this year, <ahref="/events/team-leads">read our team lead guide</a>. For an in-depth look from a past year's team lead, check out Brandon Rice’s blog post, <ahref="http://www.blrice.net/blog/2015/08/10/leading-a-team-at-ruby-for-good/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leading a Team at Ruby for Good</a>.
