Item Special Note
"COMMUNITY HOUSE" Studio Cabin is nestled in the fir trees for use between Friday 2 pm through Monday 2 pm, with some exceptions.
- The doors to the kitchen and living area are locked every night at 10 pm.
- The bathroom facilities will remain open 24/7.
Although this studio has a loft with a king size bed, as well as main floor space to unfold futons (2 double futons and 1 single on the main floor), we are not offering these spaces as sleeping spaces since there is no privacy. If you are interested in a bed space and don't require privacy during the day, please email zimbabwe@ancient-ways.org to make arrangements. (Other bed spaces in the family's residence "dorm" are also available on an email basis - please write).
All campers will be able to use these community facilities. We ask that everyone please clean up after themselves:
- This studio unit has a bathroom which includes full laundry, toilet, and shower.
- The kitchen contains a microwave, refrigerator/freezer, stove with oven, coffee pot, eating utensils and a few dishes, food preparation pots and pans, and cooking utensils.
Marimba music will be shared using the deck of the community studio, on Saturday late afternoon. Maybe you are a musician and would like to play music over the weekend? Please let us know! Check out last year's event for some jammin' ideas!
