If you arrive after midnight, go to the bulletin board located outside of the Main Office doors adjacent to the parking lot. There you will find a packet with your room key, campus map, and other information you will need. It is important that you check in at the Main Office between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. the next morning.

Departure

All workshops end at noon, unless otherwise noted.

Departure procedures are posted in your room (or bathhouse if you are camping). Please honor the check-out time so our housekeeping staff can have sufficient time to prepare the rooms for newly arriving guests.
