Your invitation will indicate if you have been invited to stay on-site for the weekend. If you confirm in your RSVP that you still want to stay on-site, your accommodations will be taken care of. You'll receive your room assignment when you arrive.
If we don't hear back from you, we expect you'll find your own lodging.
If you have questions about lodging onsite, please don’t hesitate to reach out! To reiterate, this is shared lodging. Some houses have shared bathrooms and sleeping arrangements, including bunk beds. We'll do our best to put together super fun room assignments. We’ve attached a sample of the layout below for clarity. There is running filtered water, real bathrooms, two full kitchens, and even a small store if you forget some toiletries – but not everything will be available on-site. We don’t want anyone to be uncomfortable so if you have special considerations, let us know. That said, we cannot guarantee any specific accommodation, so if you are concerned, please book an offsite hotel room. Here are some photos, for reference.
If you want a more traditional stay, stay at the offsite lodging at Seacliff! If you want a less traditional, summer camp feel, join us onsite! We anticipate the onsite crowd to trend a little younger - do with that information what you will. Let us now as soon as possible if you've changed your mind.
