q: how much does it cost?
a: tickets are only $100 – and that includes food!
q: where will i sleep?
a: a range of cabin types are available for you to choose from (visit sierrameadows.com to book). you are welcome to tent or RV camp (no hookups and limited power) for zero additional charge.
q: i don’t have a ton of money but i want to come. help?
a: we get it and absolutely want you to come! if you are in a tight financial spot currently, you are welcome to choose the $75 ticket. if $75 isn’t feasible, we may have a few scholarship opportunities available as well; please note that you’d like to be considered on your registration form and we’ll work with you to make it happen.
q: what bands are playing?
a: this isn’t really that kind of thing…although we typically do have musical or vocal contributions and other performances.
q: can i bring my dog?
a: sorry… no. we’ve found that even having our own dog present pulls us out of interactions and engagement and thus runs counter to the event spirit.
q: can i bring my kid(s)?
a: as more community members have become parents, we have revised this policy: parents may now bring kids and take turns subbing into Above the Trees activities with the following agreements:
-
- the goal is to have all attendees in a distraction-free space, so no kids at the lodge, other AtT designated workshop spaces, or meals. we’ll suggest some alternate kid areas on the property, plus the cabin area and all of Yosemite/Bass Lake, etc are available to you!
- we suggest parents try to sub in for a minimum of a half day to a full day before switching with another caregiver to have the best experience.
q: i have food allergies/sensitives, am vegan/vegetarian, etc. will that be ok?
a: sure thing. we’ll reach out about a week before to all attendees to learn about allergies and the like to make sure you’re taken care of.
q: why do i have to apply to this?
a: our dream is to have a fairly small event with 100% participation. wouldn’t that be amazing?! asking people to tell us what they will bring to the event in advance helps us create the ideal scheduling mix and forces attendees to think carefully about what they want to do well in advance of the event. yes, it’s a little extra work but we think it will really pay off eventually.
q: who is putting this thing on?
a: YOU! okay, and some of your friends at sierra meadows.
q: seriously, what are you thinking?
a: this is, admittedly, an unusual concept. absolutely. at the end of the day we are trying to create an event that is built around attendees sharing their talents, helps them establish incredible new relationships, and just keeps getting better every year. and, if the first several events were any indication, it’s working!
q: i have a question!
a: that’s not a question but okay, you can get your question answered here.
