Lodging opportunities for those opting to join us in Lexington, MI range from cabins to B&Bs. Students will be in charge of reserving and paying for their own lodging. We will provide a list of options for you to explore.

*Please note: While we love selecting unique lodging for our students, you each need to make choices that feel safest to you. We strongly recommend selecting cancellation policies you’re comfortable with given the unpredictability of COVID-19. We’re here to help you make lodging decisions.

 Students selecting an in-person experience will be provided lunches and dinners daily. 

We may be unable to meet the needs of certain, specific dietary restrictions. We have been successful with most food allergies. Every meal contains gluten-free and vegetarian options. If you wish to participate in our in-person workshop, but we cannot accommodate your food needs given COVID-19 and/or limited catering, we are happy to discuss some of your options.

We encourage students who can drive to Lexington to do so. You'll need a car to get from your lodging to your one-on-ones with Patti, whose home is a 10-minute drive from town. (Gary will either be staying in town or near Patti, still TBD.) Car service/taxis are hard to come by in this beach town. The walk from town to Patti’s is about two miles along a highway. The nearest airport is Detroit, 100 minutes away by car.
