There are a variety of ways to be here. We’re open during much of the Summer.
Renting Ocate Cliffs for retreats
The house can be rented through airbnb. With this arrangement you get five bedrooms, use of the kitchen, bathroom, living room, deck and outdoor areas. You can also wander the trails on 140 acres. Other people may be camping and they would be using the kitchen and bathrooms as well, so it is not completely private.
Link to airbnb.com for renting the whole house.
Links to rent individual rooms for one person: Room 1R, Room 2R, Room 2L; or a room for two with a bunk bed: Room 3R.
Camping and volunteering
Camping and volunteering is done through hipcamp.com. The fee is low, but if you are also volunteering, we will pay a stipend to eliminate your costs. (You will still need to pre-pay and consider the stipend as a reimbursement.) If the house doesn’t happen to be rented out while you are here, you can also stay in the house.
Link to hipcamp for camp or volunteer signup.
Glamping tent: Link to hipcamp for booking our giant tent.
Long term options
You can be one of the summer staff. These positions are intended to be paid jobs, once we have enough income to be able to do that. To get started with this arrangement, first sign up for camping/volunteering above.
In 2020 there is an International work retreat that is our main event of the summer.

It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.

Ocate Cliffs is important because we need to preserve our natural landscape while providing access for people of every ability and disability to access our natural landscapes in a way that is safe and comfortable for each person. It will bring people (both with disabilities and without) together to form community, build friendships, and create lifelong memories while enjoying the retreat center and the natural landscape.
