A few things to know…

  • Sky Lake is an alcohol-free facility.

  • Wi-Fi is limited, which many guests find helps them unplug and be more present to the world of Nature and Spirit.

  • Because of the elevation and the lake, evenings can be cool—bring layers!

Commuting

If you’d prefer to sleep off-site or at home, you’re also welcome to commute and still enjoy the full Wild Roots experience. There are also local Airbnb options nearby.

Pricing

Lodging prices vary depending on your accommodation choice. You’ll find current rates and options on the registration page.

Meals

One of the quiet joys of Wild Roots is the food. Chef Kevin has been caring for guests at Sky Lake for more than 20 years, and his meals are always a highlight of the weekend.

Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or have other dietary needs, Kevin takes care to make sure everyone is well fed. He prepares most meals from scratch—and yes, his homemade desserts have a devoted following!

There’s a place on the registration form to let us know about dietary needs, mobility concerns (let us know if stairs are a challenge for you, for example), or anything else that will help us make your stay comfortable. We’ll do our best to ensure nothing gets in the way of a satisfying weekend.
