About the Venue:
Stone Song Center is a welcoming space nestled in the Allegany Mountains of Western Maryland. It includes a beautiful farmhouse overlooking 23 acres of luscious land, a renovated barn that serves as a retreat center including an indoor meeting space, kitchen and bunk beds. The land includes a small pond, and creek, a fire circle, nature trails, an apiary and an organic vegetable garden and orchard.
Most of our attendees will camp and that costs will be included in the cost of registration. Non-campers can upgrade to bunkhouse accommodations. Stone Song Center does not allow personal camp fires. So be mindful of that when planning meals. We will also offer a limited number of meal-plans for those attendees who prefer not to cook for themselves. Registration for meal plans using this separate form.
Stone Song Center does not have trash-service so please plan to pack-out anything you pack-in.
