All of our programs include camping accommodations in Dancing Rabbit’s wooded campground. Platforms for tents are provided, along with a composting toilet and access to showers in the Dancing Rabbit Community Building.
Indoor accommodations are available to rent during the course for an additional fee. We have several options: rooms in cabins, private homes, and the bed & breakfast. Email us after you register to see what’s still available.
Meals are included in the cost, and we’ll nourish you with food packed with as many wholesome, organic, local ingredients as possible.
We can work with a range of dietary needs – let us know your particulars when you fill out the registration form.
Please note that we will do our best to accommodate different dietary needs but cannot guarantee that we will be able to and in special cases you may need to bring supplemental food.
After the first weekend, visitors will cook breakfast on their own with ingredients supplied by Dancing Rabbit.
Childcare at Dancing Rabbit is designed to support parents so they can fully participate in the program, and is equally integrative for the children…allowing visitor kids to hang out and play with community kids, with appropriate supervision and guidance for their program activity schedule. In addition to the family-friendly times worked into the schedule, you are encouraged to prioritize your children’s needs and ask for the support you need for everyone to get the most out of your visit. Childcare is available during the summer months. Tweens are encouraged to participate alongside their parents.
Each Day follows the same general flow beginning with a social coffee & tea time before breakfast, followed by a group check-in to cover the schedule and logistics for each day. A morning workshop focusing on some aspect of living in community or a group work party ends with lunch for your group. After some personal down time you’ll participate in an afternoon workshop, ending with a communal “happy hour” where you get to hang-out with Rabbits. Dinner is provided by different kitchen coops and cooks (in accordance with your expressed dietary restrictions). Most evenings involve some optional activity or opportunity for conversation or connection, or time to soak in the sunset and stars reflecting in the pond.
