Catered Meals

Daily food delights are available for participants, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served. Gather for delicious meals and warm conversation with fellow attendees, instructors, and artists. The meal ticket costs $50 per day (required for those 17 and younger as well).

Please note that meal tickets are limited, so secure yours early. If meal tickets sell out, you’ll be cooking up your own culinary creations using your outdoor cooking gear (the campus kitchen is for the cooking crew’s group meals and is not available throughout the day. However, outdoor grills and access to water are available for everyone’s use). Participants should manage their own food storage, but rest assured, details on kitchen usage and rules will be provided on the event day.

Meal preparation and cleanup will be a collaborative effort—sharing duties among all participants.

We’re also planning several potluck-style dinners throughout the period for communal enjoyment and delightful evening gatherings.

We eagerly await your involvement in these exciting projects, where delicious meals and warm interactions pave the way for an unforgettable experience. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. Everything is set for creating cherished memories!

Enthusiastic participants, please register according to the period you have selected, based on the above-mentioned participation fees. Should you have any questions or wish to know more about the application process, feel free to reach out. We are wholeheartedly looking forward to your participation.
