Sleeping Arrangements:
Students are not required to stay on site, however, overnight camping is encouraged to deepen social bonds around the fire.
Students can set up their tents or hammocks along the woodline in the field (suggested) or in the woodland area near the classroom.
Overnight camping is covered by insurance and included with class registration, however, this only covers evenings between the class’ start and end. With your registration students can arrive on site as early as 7:30 AM to set up camp and must leave on Sunday.
Students ARE ALLOWED to stay on site before and after the class ONLY if a Field Camping reservation is purchased on Georgia Buschraft’s HipCamp booking platform for a $29.00 fee.
Restrooms:
There is a Port-A-John along the woodline near Basecamp for use.
Food:
Food is not provided so students are required to bring their own meals and snacks for consumption.
There are scheduled breaks for meal times. Everyone usually gathers around the campfire during mealtimes, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for fellowship.
If you have a cooler, we recommend filling it with ice to store perishable items to keep everything fresh and ready to enjoy.
Students should still inform the instructor of any critical food allergies if any.
Terrain:
The property is rich in resources with varying tree species on top of a diverse range of edible and medicinal plants.
There are deep creek beds that can make navigating for some difficult. Participants should be mindful of their physical limitations and potential for mechanical injury when navigating off the trails.
The trail into the woods is a worn down dirt path so vehicles can risk getting trapped. Those driving sedans or 2WD vehicles are not recommended to pass.
Cell Coverage:
Cell service is reliable except for some T-Mobile users where reception is rare, but can sometimes receive signal.
WiFi is available near the farm house for emergency use.
Water:
We suggest bringing plenty of water for hydration, cooking, and hygiene.
Potable water is available on site near the farmhouse and also near the shower stall next to Basecamp.
There is a single outdoor shower stall that is usable barring certain weather conditions.
Power:
There is no external power source available for students. Participants should bring their own power stations or chargeable units for cell phones, head lamps, etc.
Trash:
There is a trash can available in Basecamp and a dumpster along the driveway.
