JPST 2024

Come join us on campus for a largely unstructured long weekend. There will be delicious and expertly prepared locally sourced meals, along with some peaceful time to reunite with friends and write in your own private lodging.

You’ll also have opportunities for easy hiking, bird watching and gorgeous sunsets, as you’ll be surrounded by acres of trees, meadows, and farms. This idyllic atmosphere is sure to fill your writer’s well and stoke creative fires well past the weekend experience.

You will hear from us regularly starting at least one month in advance of your stay, and we’ll send info and reminders at that time.

You may check into your lodging any time after 3pm on arrival day.  If you arrive prior to 3pm, you may enjoy the grounds and various work and gathering places around the facility as your room is being prepared. The first meal on campus will be appetizers at 5:30pm and dinner at 6:00pm.  If you arrive late, we can save dinner for you.

Lunch on the final day of your stay is included, but we ask that you check out of your lodging by 11am. You are welcome to leave your packed bags by the door of your room while you enjoy lunch and say your goodbyes. Housekeeping may enter your room during this period to begin cleaning and prepping for our next guests.  Thank you for your consideration.
