Setting up and Running a Yurt Campsite
Setting up and Running a Yurt Campsite
Provisional dates for 2012 group courses, (subject to demand), are:
24th and 25th April,
15th and 16th May,
12th and 13th June,
3rd and 4th July
11th and 12th September.
2-day group courses cost £225 per person (max 10 people per course) - this includes one night's accommodation in a yurt (shared only with those booking together). We require a 25% deposit with the balance payable 6 weeks before the course date.
£200 of each place is refundable against future yurt purchase (to a maximum of one refund per yurt purchased).
Individual Courses - £300 per day - up to 3 people to discuss one project. £200 refundable as above. During the winter, the campsite is closed and we are not therefore able to show you a furnished yurt - you are however welcome to return when we re-open to view the yurts and see the campsite up and running.
