Registration Fee:

Registration for the Permaculture Action Camp is at a sliding scale of $350-900. Suggested tuition is $600. This includes three organic meals a day for four days; up to 8 days of camping on the farm; four full days of hands on training in a beautiful yurt, barn, and outdoor classrooms, and deep inclusion in the Permaculture Action Day w/Rising Appalachia as co-facilitators on Sunday, May 20th.

Your registration fee also includes VIP guest concert tickets to Friday and Saturday night’s Rising Appalachia shows in Burlington!

Please keep in mind: $600 covers the real cost of your participation in the course. Paying at the high end of the sliding scale at $900 subsidizes others’ participation in the course who can’t afford to attend otherwise. Paying at the low end of the scale is welcome (we want your participation!) but please be aware that paying toward the middle range ensures that facilitators and cooks are compensated, project materials are paid for, and everyone involved is taken care of!

If you have any questions, including registration details, alternative lodging accommodations, work trade possibilities, or facilitating additional offerings at the Action Day- please contact Keith@ProspectRock.org or (802) 734-1129

If you want to support low income students, gender/racial diversity in permaculture, and scholarships for those who cannot afford to attend, please write to make a tax deductible contribution!

   Come to Life is an arts and activism based coalition with the intention to facilitate and document positive movement in the world. Come to Life is a channel to bring all the good work we can find to a much larger audience than we would be able to reach otherwise.
