Arriving before October 16th

We have an agreement with the Camp to have access to an accommodation building on October 15th.

Now, a part of the camp is booked to an artist before the retreat. This means that there will be a music concert on October 15th at 7PM. There will be people preparing the concert and people coming to attend the event. This will go on all day until probably late at night. As long as we accept and do not interfere with this activity, we are welcome to stay.

Leaving after November 16th

Also, we have an agreement with the camp to access an accommodation after the retreat on November 16th.

At this time, the camp has no planned activity for this date. In the event that some activity takes place, we are asked to kindly accept and not interfere with whatever might be going on at the camp after the retreat.

Health Emergencies

The camp is a bit far from emergency services. Therefore, it could take a while for such services to respond at the camp. We ask everyone to be aware and responsible about their health. If you have some conditions that could be a risk of needing emergency services, please consider not attending the retreat. If you feel discomfort keep the manager informed.
