We gather at a summer camp in the southwestern corner of Massachusetts, near the Connecticut and New York borders. It is situated on hundreds of acres of woods and fields and creates a real feeling of community and home for all of
us.
At the camp there are many styles of camp cabins with bunk beds as well as
a big dining hall, limited areas for camping, fire circles and a beautiful lake.
You may indicate your preference for sleeping accommodations at Rites
of Spring on your application form. Indicate
your preference for sleeping accommodations on your registration form. Most cabins
sleep between 10 and 14 people in bunk beds with shared bathroom facilities in
each cabin area. Several Adirondak-style "rustic" cabins are also available which sleep 4-5 people in bunks.
A limited number of beds are available in two heated lodges. There is an additional fee for heated sleeping space and there are no small cabins or private rooms available. If you choose a heated lodge, there is an additional charge of $50 per person, including children using a bed.
Housing or a camping space is included in your registration fee, no RVs or pop-ups are permitted at the camp. Sleeping in your standard sized van is OK.
We have tenting areas and three types of cabin areas: Family, Quiet and Late
Night. Please be sure to mark your preference clearly on your registration form.
We will also try (but cannot guarantee) to arrange cabins
that are All Female, All Male, or 12-step. If you have a preference, please
enter it in the special housing requests space on the application form.
Choosing Cabin Mates
Families and anyone wishing to stay with someone specific in a cabin must
complete the housing group section of the form. Choose a
name for your group (one word, up to 10 letters ); even if
there are just two of you. Register as early as possible, send all
registration forms and fees for all people together in one envelope,
if possible. Make sure this section is filled out the same on
all forms .
Space for tents in the Merchant area is extremely limited and available for
merchants only by special arrangement. Merchants may request
this in the Merchant application section of the form but please indicate your
second housing choice in the Housing section of the application form. The Merchant
coordinator will make all arrangements and contact merchants before the event.
All beds in each cabin will be assigned, so plan ahead. If you will be
bringing a tent, please do not sign up for a cabin space "just in case".
