 Accomodations: We highly recommend considering the Inn at Shelburne Farms, (photo at left) located on Lake Champlain, a 5 minute walk from our Summer Institute location. Prices are reasonable with a wide range of rooms and cottages available—early reservations are suggested!Special Rate Available: We highly recommend Smart Suites, (802-860-9900) which is close (15 minutes by car), locally owned, and provides excellent accomodations. Smart Suites is offering Institute participants a special rate for a limited number of suites—including studio king suites at $89/night. (Approx. 50% discount off regular summer rate).This offer is good through early June. Be sure to tell them you are with Community Works Institute when you register. Heart of The Village is the closest lodging—a bed and breakfast—and is recommended but does not offer a discount (Toll-free: 877-808-1834). Camping is also an option beginning with the spectacularly beautiful Mt. Philo, a Vermont State Park. This is a VERY small park and reservations may be made by calling 802-425-2390 –between 6 and 8 pm.
