Food Policy & Chores
Weekend meals are communal and provided by volunteer managers who plan and shop for the menus. Guests share in food preparation and clean-up, as needed, under the guidance of House Managers. Meals include Friday happy hour, Saturday dinner, and self-serve continental breakfasts Saturday and Sunday. The meal schedule may be adjusted by Cabin managers to best align with weekend activities. Sail weekends include lunch, and 3-day holiday weekends include an additional breakfast and dinner.
Midweek meals are not provided. Midweek guests provide their own food by transporting it, shopping in nearby communities, or utilizing restaurants. Midweek managers help coordinate cooking and cleaning times in the communal kitchen which is stocked with condiments, spices, dishes and cookware (including a crockpot, rice cooker, food processor, blender, and microwave). There is also an outdoor grill available for overnight guests (cleaned after use by guests).
Guests are encouraged to prepare simple meals to ensure everyone has kitchen time. There is a guest refrigerator, a small freezer, and cubbies for dry goods. The Cabin has a BYOB policy with alcoholic beverages permitted at happy hour and dinner. Because our Cabin is volunteer-run, all guests help with chores such as sweeping or emptying the dishwasher.
