FIND THE PLACE:


Common Ground Center
473 Tatro Road
Starksboro, VT 05487

All events for the weekend will occur at the Common Ground Center in Starksboro, Vermont, a cooperatively run non-profit arts, education, and outdoor recreation and retreat center dedicated to bringing together and strengthening diverse families and communities through their own programming and supporting groups renting their facilities. The beautiful site demonstrates commitment to environmental sustainability and connection with the outdoors.

The site is secluded, picturesque, and well-equipped to handle fun events!  The facilities include acres and acres of hiking trails, a pond for swimming and canoeing, tennis courts, a basketball court, a kickball field, and hammocks (more practical facilities include a dining hall and a commercial kitchen, small cabins for rustic sleeping, tent platforms for tenting, and an eco-lodge for slightly less rustic sleeping.  Check out the “find a bed” tab for more info on accommodation).
