Hoop Convergence -- Friday April 11 - Wednesday April 16, 2008
where to stay

The Convergence has arranged to offer bunking and camping options at the beautiful Chestnut Ridge Camp & Retreat Center, located about 15 miles outside of Carrboro, North Carolina.

The retreat center offers three different levels of accommodation.



Crane Lodge -- Fireside Conference & Lodging
Crane Lodge Crane Lodge has a 45-person capacity meeting room, stone and mortar fireplace, central heat and A/C, and full bath facilities. Two adjoining rooms may serve either as small group meeting space or as sleeping quarters for up to 16 guests. This cabin also has an efficiency kitchen and deck.

These beds are $27 per night and include breakfast.


Rustic Camping Sites
Rustic Camping Building on the Chestnut Ridge legacy of summer camp in covered wagons, the three-season shelters are clustered two to a site over a total of six sites. Each rustic site can sleep 10 - 28 people depending on the location. Each site has a picnic table, cooking fireplace, campfire circle, and cold running water. Rustic Site #6 is located adjacent to the Remote Bath House, providing flush toilets and warm showers in the great outdoors.  All other sites are free to use the central Bathhouse located in the Main Camp area for showers and restroom facilities.

These beds are $11 per night and include breakfast.


Tent Camping
Tent camping is welcome and encouraged. We have established sites that are ideal for a "car camping" experience, complete with picnic table, water access, and campfire ring. We're also happy to host those who are looking for a more backcountry experience. We have many off-the-beaten-trail locations that are perfect for a minimal impact experience. This type of tent camping necessitates the use of Leave No Trace principles.

Tent sites are $9 per night and include breakfast.


Linen Service
If you are flying into town and do not have room for sheets, towels and blankets, no worries. For $6.50 per bed, Chestnut Ridge will supply sheets, a blanket and a towel for the duration of your stay. Please try to squeeze a pillow into your bag. There will be a pillow case here waiting!

Meals
Camp Chestnut Ridge will prepare our meals for a very reasonable rate. Please let us know of any allergies and dietary restrictions in advance. Breakfasts are included for every participant.
  • $7/ lunch
  • $8/dinner
We will be in town for a couple of meal times (see Schedule), which will provide opportunity to enjoy some of Carrboro’s offerings.
