Community Weekends
Community Weekends go from Friday night (unstructured arrival time after 3pm) to Sunday afternoon. Feel free to attend Saturday only. Free camping and some meals in return for efforts. Pre-register by emailing pam@wisteria.org so that we can plan for you. Thanks! Limited Meals provided. Saturdays: brunch and evening meal at dusk, Sundays: brunch (Memorial Day weekend includes additional Sunday dinner and Monday brunch). Please bring supplemental or specialized food, snacks and drinks for your stay. Some vegetarian options. Work-Exchange. To attend Wisteria community weekends, a contribution of 2 work sessions is the minimum labor contribution for a weekend stay with overnight camping. 1 work session required for Saturday only stay. Facilities. Covered pavilion, camping spots, showerhouse, swimming pond, water, portatiolets, ice and wood (for sale). Bring camping gear for your stay (including tables and chairs), medications and necessities, work clothes, paint clothes if you like painting projects, a good attitude and love of nature. Rain Policy. If the weather looks soggy for the weekend, call us to see if the weekend is a go or not. We’ll try to make a decision by Friday afternoon – at the latest, Saturday morning by 10 am. 740 742 4302. Programming. Part of the weekend experience is getting in shape. Sometimes we’re mellow after a day of satisfying exertion and sometimes we like to do more active things after dinner. Feel free to write or call us with ideas for group activities for Saturday evening. The kids always appreciate a few structured events if you have something to offer them during your stay (counts as labor exchange). Community Atmosphere. For a community to function well,, participants need to agree on responsible standards of behavior. Bring a helpful, loving and receptive attitude and you will probably be a welcome guest and also have a wonderful time. Specifically, We do not accept violence, meanness, lying/ stealing, moochers, bigotry and all those kinds of counterproductive behaviors. If your behavior is unacceptable to the group peace or if you violate campground rules, you will be asked to leave. No pets, sorry (some resident pets occasionally show up). Everybody is responsible for their children – community does not mean dumping your kids on others. We do not provide childcare. We do welcome children and they have lots of fun together. |
