There are a number of options (and prices) for accommodations whether you would like a private or shared room, dorm room, or bell tent. We'll ask on your application which types of accommodations you are most interested in, and then one of our team members will help match you to the best choice.  For shared accommodations, we'll match you with a roommate(s) if you don't come with one. Descriptions of all options are below.  

Meals:
Organic gluten-free, vegan meals will be provided 3 times daily. Fresh spring drinking water and tea and coffee service.  If you’re new to vegan meals, know that you won’t go hungry! Our guests are always satisfied and nourished (even if surprisingly so!). You will be nourished! We will do our best to accommodate any food allergies and specific needs with advance notice.

You may leave early on Sunday if needed.  There may be an optional Native American flute playing tutorial available from 10-11am if you have or would like to purchase a flute. You are also welcome to stay a few hours longer on site to enjoy the land after checking out of your room.
