Activities: bring your own projects to work on, plus a great attitude and readiness to have fun! The conference center is located in a wooded area with hiking trails around the grounds that you may want to explore. There is a large grassy area adjacent to our sewing rooms, which is very conducive to catnaps, reading, or conversation.
Things to remember:
- Absolutely no smoking at Mt. Hope -
indoors or outdoors! - No alcohol on the grounds or in dorm rooms.
- The soil around the conference center is reddish and abundant. If you go for a hike, be sure to bring shoes that won't be ruined by the red soil.
- Once you have unloaded your sewing equipment, cars need to be parked in the dorm parking lots.
- Be respectful of your fellow quilting "campers" in both the sewing and dorm areas.
- Cell phones don’t work at camp, unless you climb to the top of the hill and stand in one place. Land lines are available; bring a phone card.
