Special arrangements may be made to stay over Wednesday night 6/24 before programming begins on Thursday afternoon. Please email phaedre@newdirectionscello.org for assistance.

Dining:

Dining services will be in the Cutter/Ziskind consolidated dining room (5-10 minute walk from location of workshops/dorm) during set meal times. Cafeteria-style menus include fresh cuisine prepared by college staff, a fresh salad bar and vegetarian items are included at all meals. Participants may also elect to eat elsewhere at any of the wonderful restaurants in Northampton or are welcome to bring their own food. Our dorm has a kitchen you are free to use for food storage and meal prep as needed. Many people eat on campus during the full workshop days (Fri/Sat) and elect to itemize meals or eat elsewhere on Thursday and Sunday depending on their arrival and departure times. Commuters who do not need housing may still elect to purchase meal plans in the dining hall if done so by June 8th. Special arrangements may be made if your needs are not represented by the dining options below. Please email phaedre@newdirectionscello.org for assistance.
