What to Bring

Drums – The ideal type of drum to bring is a djembe. They come in many sizes and any size will work well. If you don’t have access to a djembe, an ashiko would work. If you do not have any drum to bring for the weekend, please make sure you let us know, in your registration form as we have a limited number of drums to rent out for the weekend. If you have an extra drum you’d be willing to loan, please let us know. If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us.

Other – Besides standard camping gear for tent camping (including a tent), please be sure to bring a yoga mat and yoga props (props are optional), kayak (if you have one), walking shoes, sleeping bag, pillow, towel, rain gear, chair for drum circles (lawn, folding or camping chair), and any food you’d like to bring.

Weather

The weekend will take place rain or shine. We will move the drum circles and yoga classes inside in case of rain.

Food

For food, you can choose to go rustic and cook over your campfire or venture five minutes into town to explore the restaurants of the quaint and historic town of Plymouth. Breakfast will be available to purchase in the campground's dining room.

Age Limit

Rhythm & Spirit is a family-friendly weekend, so there are no age restrictions for attending the weekend.  However, the yoga and drumming sessions are geared toward adults, so please read on if you plan to bring family members under 18. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants must be 16 or older to attend the yoga sessions. The drumming instruction is also geared toward adults, but we have had a number of children successfully attend the sessions and joyfully create music with the grown-ups. In these cases, we ask parents to be mindful if it isn’t working for the child to participate and to have an alternate plan (e.g.,  have another adult available to care for the child, take the child to the playground for a break, etc.) Children may accompany adults to camp, and parents are responsible for the safety and supervision of children at all times. Please contact us about arrangements and fees if you plan to bring children. 

Cabins

Log cabins have one double bed and one bunk bed (top and bottom), sleeping 3-4 people. The Deluxe cabin has one double bed and one bunk bed (top and bottom), a futon and a loft that can accommodate a sleeping bag (sleeps up to 6, snugly). The Lakeside cottage has one double bed and a top bunk, sleeping up to 3 adults. There is a microwave, coffee maker, fridge, sink, shower and toilet in each unit. Remember to bring your linens!
