We return to our familiar mountain-top home-away-from-home for
Rites of Spring, a summer camp in the far southwestern
corner of Massachusetts, near the Connecticut and New York borders. It is situated on hundreds of acres of woods, surrounding a huge private lake and abutting the Appalachian Trail. There are no nearby neighbors, so we can enjoy drumming all night at the fire, the freedom to be who we truly are and the peace of mind that privacy brings.
At the camp there are many camp cabins with bunk beds as well as an old lodge, a big rustic, dining hall and kitchen, areas for camping, fields for rituals and fire circles, and a waterfront area which includes canoes and sailboats. .
We have a long-standing relationship with the camp staff and they are looking
forward to having us back. They will provide lifeguards and boat supervision for
us each day, as well as leading groups through the challenging high ropes course
and climbing tower.
Because the site has a limited capacity to recycle, we ask that participants plan in advance to carry out all recyclable materials that they bring in and not to deposit them in the trash. |
