A Week at The Clearing

While every week at The Clearing is unique, a typical week might look like this...and probably a lot more!*

*Times and schedule are approximate. Clearing staff and instuctors will provide more details of your week's schedule on Sunday afternoon and evening. Optional evening activities may include campfires, night hikes, walking the labyrinth and star gazing. Students may also elect to work on their class projects or participate in optional class-related activities.

Sunday:

1:00 - 4:00 | Check-In
5:30 | Supper (family-style)
~7:00 | Orientation, Introductions & Class Meetings

Monday:

For safety reasons, but also to help simplify cleaning (Because of COVID-19, much more time is spent cleaning rooms than in the past.), we have removed certain items from the rooms. These include pillows, quilts, Afghans, extra blankets, clothes hangers, ice bucket, personal care products (shampoo, body wash and hand wash), the basket that covers the tissue box and the air freshener.

Given what has been removed from the rooms, we recommend that guests bring the following items:
• Pillow
• Soap
• Shampoo
• Clothes hangers

Guests might also want to bring the following items:
• Hand sanitizer
• Disinfectant wipes
• Extra blanket
• Flashlight
• Mosquito repellent
• Portable reading light
• Walking stick (if you plan to hike while you’re at The Clearing)
• Cooler for ice
• Also, since we only provide hot beverages (coffee and tea), please bring any other beverages you would like, such as water, juice and soda.

We will not assign roommates for those who wish to register for a dorm or for a double room. Those wishing to be in a dorm or double room must arrange their own roommate(s)—someone with whom they are comfortable rooming—or plan to register for a single room.
