NOT FULL- add yourself to waitlist:)
Weekend in Central Oregon?! Yes Pleeez! PLEASE READ ALL to be added to the “going list” for this magical weekend. Cost is $240 per person for the whole weekend and this event holds 14 explorers.
Check-in is 4 PM or later on Friday. Check out is 10 AM on Sunday with optional activities to follow. ☀️☀️☀️
Come enjoy good company and good times for a weekend of connecting with friends and nature in this beautiful private, large house/cabin on Black Butte Ranch near Sisters, Oregon. Complete with large communal hang out areas and a private hot tub.
The house:
5 rooms, 4 bath, 8 beds. We usually bunk up in a way that works for everyone which we figure out when you get here. If you’re comfortable sharing there are enough beds for everyone (if you are a couple or peer pressure a friend to come with you, you will likely have a shared bed or priority pick;). If you prefer your own sleeping spot feel free to bring an air mattress/sleeping bag/whatever you need to be comfortable. There’s a large back deck and big barbecue. The house backs up to a wooded area with a nice little lawn so it feels private and like you’re in the country. We have our own private hot tub but the Black Butte Ranch also has other amenities like a basketball court, sauna, gym, pool and tennis courts if you care to use any of those we will have access. Sorry no pets, some people have allergies.
Food:
Friday night is family dinner night! Mexican theme, bring a dish and snacks to share for Friday night, whatever else you need for the weekend for your breakfast/lunch/dinner, and whatever drinks you want for the weekend. The house, of course, has a full kitchen so if you need to cook any food there that’s totally fine. We have the option to grab dinner on Saturday in Sisters or Bend, or whatever sounds fun that night. Grocery stores not too far away.
🍔🌮🌭🌯🥙🥗🥪🍕🍟🍗🥓🍱
Fun:
With endless natural beauty nearby we can spend Saturday hiking, picnicking at a lake, playing sports, playing lawn games, playing board games and whatever else sounds fun. PLEASE BRING your favorite board/card games, Friday night is usually an epic game night🥳 With all the options it’s perfectly fine to branch off and do what sounds nice to you, with trips like this there usually ends up being a couple of different groups doing different activities that sound fun to them. This is meant to be a fun, relaxing and connective weekend. On Sunday check out is at 10 AM, we can head to brunch, a hike, shopping or home if that’s what you’re ready for.😎
Carpool:
I would like to keep the cars to 6 vehicles if possible as on street parking is not allowed at this location. No motorcycles allowed in Black Butte Ranch (seems like a silly rule, I’m just the messenger). We can coordinate carpools and exchange numbers via the group chat, it usually works best to chime in if you are willing to drive, and how many seats you have available to take others. I can jump in where needed to help coordinate. Please let me know if you need help. Once you are moved to the going list, if you can drive please say so in the group chat and where you are coming from so we can get that process started.🚗
