All attendees will need to register for General Admission tickets for each person in your party. See Pricing details below. General Admission is a 3-day pass, so come and go as you like!

Be sure to reserve any overnight accommodations (camping / cabins) by adding those things on to your order within the registration process.

Please add-on meal tickets for each person for the provided meals (Saturday evening dinner and Sunday morning dinner) as applicable.

There will be a schedule for the weekend, but we don't want you to feel "over-programmed." Come and go as you please, and choose the parts of the programming that work best for you / your family. Here's a general overview.

Saturday evening dinner, Sunday morning breakfast, and some snacks throughout the weekend will be provided. These meals are listed as add-ons in the registration; if you plan to eat them, please include them in your registration for our planning purposes.

You will be on your own for the other meals. There are some fire rings available to cook over, but those will be first-come, first-served. If you plan to cook, be sure to bring camp stove or other self-contained cooking apparatus to prepare your food. Campsites and cabins should have access to picnic tables.

The overnight accommodations for the weekend include primitive campsites, RV sites / sites with water and electric, and hostel-style unheated, A-frame cabins.

Primitive Campsites: fit one vehicle and up to two tents. While water and electric are not provided, they are easily accessible in shared-use pavilions. Bring a container to carry water. A bathhouse with toilets and shower will also be easily accessible.

RV Sites / Sites with Hook-ups: fit one RV or camper. Sewage hook-ups are not guaranteed and are first-come, first-served. A bathhouse with toilets and shower will be easily accessible.

A-frame cabins: sleep up to 12 people in bunk beds. Cabins are not heated, but they do include basic electricity, a campfire cooking area, and water. Does not include a kitchen.

A limited number of winterized hotel-style rooms sleeping 2-5 people are available.

There are some accessible accommodations in winterized hotel-style rooms available for people with disabilities. Food will be provided for families staying in these spaces. We recognize that we have limited capacity to make this retreat fully accessible, but we are committed to doing the best we can with the spaces available. If you have questions or would like to talk further about you or your family’s particular needs, please contact Seth directly.

We really don't know!

This is the first time trying something like this, so it's hard to say. Ask us again in two months! That being said, we're thinking/hoping that there will be around 500 people coming from Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and maybe even some really ambitious friends from even further away!
