Housing:
We need your help with housing, with expanding what is possible for our small community.  

Each year, we ask our friends and family to host out of town dancers.  Our friends need to take a break, which means, we have the opportunity to make more friends (couchsurfing.org) and go camping (yay!).  We changed the date of the jam to the Summer to open up the ease and possibility of camping.  

Housing Options:

Contact Paul (pck200@hotmail.com) with questions.   

We changed the date of our jam to the Summer so that we can offer camping. Please find your own housing.  There are options below. Camping will run out, so reserve your site with the campground soon.  Contact Paul (pck200@hotmail.com) with questions. 

North Beach Campground: A really beautiful location, right on the bike path (bring your bike) and next to the LAKE!, just 2 miles from the jam. They accept reservations and will fill up, so... Go online to http://enjoyburlington.com/ or Call the campground directly at 1-800-571-1198. Tent sites with one tent =  $72 for the two nights for up to 4 people. If you want more then one tent, then that is $5/night more. So at the most, split between 4 people and having an extra tent, brings you to $20.50 for lodging for the whole weekend.  Only one car per site, extra car parking is available.

Amanda and Abbi are staying at the campground and most likely biking to and from the jam. =) More info and to reserve a campsite: http://enjoyburlington.com/

Couch Surfing: couchsurfing.org. (Free) This is a really great resource that we highly recommend. 

Burlington Hostel: $40/night. Learn more: http://www.theburlingtonhostel.com/rooms.html

AirBnB: Really charming options for as low as $40/night. The lower price ones will go quickly. More info: www.airbnb.com

Have an idea that is not on here? Please let Paul know. pck200@hotmail.com
