The safety and health of our CBL members is a top priority.

This may raise some personal questions. If you have an issue and need to talk to someone to set your mind at ease, please email the webmaster at webmaster@carolinabearlodge.club.

We are writing to provide more information about our protocols for returning to in-person events for the New Year 2022.

We continue to plan for an in-person Bear Hunt event in late April. Of course, we are now doing this as scientists and public health authorities work to learn more about the recently identified Omicron variant. It is everywhere and an issue to those who are unvaccinated. While Omicron is not a reason for panic for those who are vaccinated, it is a reason for us all to continue taking prudent steps to limit the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

We are grateful for your continued cooperation while attending CBL events, which has played an important role in keeping us safe throughout the past year by showing proof of vaccinations, masking when required, general hygiene and hand sanitizing.

Our approach to supporting a healthy return consists of (1) offering masks to those who need them, (2) requesting that those in attendance be fully vaccinated, (3) offering hand sanitizing stations, and (4) providing outdoor activities.

This is going to be an amazing event with a new format molded by a new year in a new world. We hope to see you there!!

Welcome Back Bears!!!

Welcome

Welcome to Carolina Bear Lodge! Where you can join a great group of guys and have a grrreat time! Carolina Bear Lodge was formed in 1994 by a group of guys who didn't fit into the typical gay roster. The Carolina Bear Lodge had its first meeting in Charlotte, NC. Membership is open to anyone who is hirsute/bearish or who simply admires them. There are no physical characteristics required for any type of membership. CBL was formed to give members of the bear community a social outlet to call their own and a means to meet like minded men in an accepting environment.

Something For Everyone

It seems everywhere nowadays is running bear nights, and that’s awesome! But here is a list of places where a bear could go and feel at home every hour of the week, not just on a special night held once a month.

Not Just From The Carolinas

CBL is a group of awesome gay men of the Carolinas (but actually from all over!!) who have a mutual interest in bear-like men. We subscribe to what it is to be a bear.

We have pride in being gay and understand the tenuousness of life and the desire to live it fully and richly. We contribute positively to the bear brotherhood and the greater community-at-large. The purposes of the Club are to provide social connection and activities for our members and friends, and to serve the community through contribution, support, and education.

Join today!

 Top story!

MY partner and I would like to thank all that were involved in this year’s Bear Hunt. The committee did an outstanding job and we definitely look forward to another awesome bear hunt next year!!

Be creative

Events are the building blocks of the Carolina Bear Lodge. Each event consists of one or more ideas brought to life from a members mind. When you feel an idea coming on, feel free to drop us a message and let us know. Your event idea might be our next signature event!!

Not every idea will be chosen, there are several variables that go into producing them. But you never know!!

social profiles

The new breed of social networks use your mobile device. Those will not allow x-rated profile photos so they can be accepted in the App store. The key benefit of such apps and networks is the local aspect. Examples for such mobile Apps for Bears, masculine butch men are:

ScruffApp.com

GrowlrApp.com

u4Bear.com

Believe it or not, males are biologically wired, from birth, to be more emotionally reactive and expressive than females. For example, baby boys become distressed more easily, and cry sooner and more often than baby girls.

Boys also learn, without even having to think about it, that they should be ashamed of such feelings, even that they should hate themselves for having them.

The abilities to be aware of vulnerable emotions, express them to others, and accept them as part of being alive, are human capacities. Every boy and girl is born with the potential to develop them.

This is a good spot to look for topics you are interested in.
