At this time we will introduce instructors and hear some details of what they will be teaching, as well as information on signing-up for classes and other community procedures. For those who would like to assist with the many chores of setting up camp, it is permissible to arrive a day or two earlier. Breakfast and supper are served each day beginning Wednesday morning, with participants providing their own lunches. In the North Carolina mountains, it is common to have frost and chilly weather well into May. Knife, eating utensils, cup, plate and bowl are essential, and a flashlight, good rain gear, extra shoes, folding chair, and snacks are also good to have.
All participants are responsible for their own shelter.
Our new site is ideal for tent camping and offers plenty of good parking for motorized vehicles as well. There are several commercial campgrounds offering RV hook-ups and other ammenities about five miles away, and two motels within a similar distance. There is a pond for swimming, and at the moment that is the only option for bathing at the site. During April, we plan to spend quite a bit of time on-site, developing provisional facilities to make our camp more comfortable. These plans include some portable solar shower units, and those who would like to volunteer to come up beforehand and help with such projects should contact us.
