By submitting my application I acknowledge:

​

• I understand that the camp is located in a rural landscape that may have insects including spiders or other unfamiliar or uncomfortable type of environmental issues often dramatic weather, and that cell phones don't have good service during parts of the day or spots around the camp.

• I understand that I will have access to the rural broadband, but that I should embrace the opportunity to disconnect from tech when not working so I can explore and enjoy the nature immersion.

• I understand that I may not have any guests at all during my term and that this is a solo opportunity.

• I understand that I should not work more than 40 hours remotely and should engage in the natural immersion or other opportunities available, not just as a place to live and to hide in a room or be gone all the time for exploring.

• I understand that this is a secular place and proselytizing is not allowed.

• I understand the no smoking, no vaping policies as well as the drug and alcohol policy.

• I understand that there is a commitment to the general care and maintenance of the communal space and my own room on a daily/weekly basis.

• My understanding that this remote worker pit-stop program is not a school or workshop and therefore there are no formal instructional offerings included in my program fee unless I negotiate GD instruction, mentorship coaching, or assistance with my work in my contract.

• I understand that I should communicate my interest in outings, activities, or intentional gatherings during my remote experience prior to my arrival.

• I understand that the organic element of this remote pit-stop program alongside a residency program is the aspect of interactions. I understand that my role needs to be proactive in the community in terms of seeking out interactions with others or inviting them to see/interact with my work.

• I understand that there is no guarantee as to the number of participants on site during my schedule and that there can be an ebb and flow of participants during my schedule.

• I understand that my time is my own, my schedule is determined by me, and that any group activity is optional, is organic in its organization, and that sometimes I may be the leader of this activity at my own interest. I understand that there will likely be an option to gather socially on a weekly basis, if possible, such as movie night, stargazing, campfires, etc.

• I understand that if I offer my expertise to other participants that there is no remuneration for my time.

• Additional policies may be included in the contract and not listed here.

• Although we are rural, we prefer that people are vaccinated and have courtesy for public health. Please note if not.
