How do we get to the venue?

We recommend entering "31500 SW Blue Lake Dr, Sisters, OR 97759" into your navigation. The entrance to Caldera is at the far end of Suttle Lake, on the left side of Suttle Lake Rd. When you arrive at Caldera please drive slowly and park in designated areas.

Will meals be provided throughout the weekend?

Breakfast and dinner will be provided each day. We feel passionately about the way that food brings people together and are humbly relying on our community to contribute to meals during the weekend. There will be a meal planned and food provided for 3 breakfasts and 2 dinners, but they will need the help of those who can pitch in and show their care through the food they cook. Each meal needs a Lead who can familiarize themselves with the recipe and oversee the team, Cooks who make the meal happen, and the Cleanup Crew who make sure everything makes it to the dishwasher and leftovers to the fridge.

We'll make sure breakfast and dinner are covered, but guests are welcome to bring personal food that can be stored in the communal fridge at Tamarack Hall, personal fridges in the A-frames, or in the fridges in the main kitchen. Please label any food stored in shared spaces.

How long can we stay?

We hope everyone will join us for the whole weekend! Guests may arrive after 4:00 pm on Friday, June 6th and stay until 11 am on Monday, June 9th.

Can we swim at Caldera?

Yes! We are lucky to have private access to Blue Lake, which is Oregon's 3rd deepest lake. The lake is stunningly blue, clear, and cold! There will also be four canoes available for enjoying the lake above water.

What is the attire?

Come dressed to impress! Feel inspired to dress up and get funky & fancy, wear your favorite semi- formal outfit to the ceremony and party on Saturday. Please also bring attire comfortable for chilly nights, dirt paths, and dancing!

Smoking policy

Smoking is allowed in designated areas only. Please help us in reminding our guests of this extremely important policy.

Can we bring our dog?

Animals are not allowed at Caldera. As much as we love all furry friends, they are not invited.

Are children welcome?

Absolutely! We are excited to celebrate with the whole family. Keep in mind that adult supervision is required for those under the age of 18 throughout the duration of the weekend.

Is there cell service?

Cell service might be spotty depending on your service provider and location on the property. Plan to possibly go without service. WiFi is available in Tamarack Hall, the A-Frames, and in the main Hearth Building.

What essential items do you recommend?

Although we aren't known as light packers, here is our short list of important items: sunscreen, hat / sunglasses, raincoat, and warm clothes. If you're up for taking a hike make sure to bring proper shoes, and a swimming suit & towel even if you're only curious about a quick cold dip!

We'd also love it if folks brought a musical instrument, favorite game, puzzle, or talent to share during the weekend!
