We offer various accommodations, from dormitories to tents; everyone has access to indoor plumbing and hot water showers. There are no expenses while living at the camp. Our food is amazingly good, and we serve 21 meals a week. We offer a free laundry service. Mobile phones are not allowed on campus during the day -- you can use them on campus at night after 8:30.
We are a remote community, and transportation is limited. We have an alcohol and drug-free campus. We attract people with a love for education and the arts, and most staff content themselves with staying on campus and relishing the company of fellow creatives, the beautiful surroundings, and great food. Many of the adults on campus spend their free time dancing, practicing instruments, making art, writing, and meditating. If that sounds like fun to you, please join us!
