Camping at the Farm

Reserve Your Camping Spot Now!

Plenty of space for campers at the College Farm!

Camping is available at The Dickinson College Farm for just $5/person for the weekend during the conference! Participants are welcome to stay Thursday night – Sunday morning depending on travel arrangements.  Sleep under the stars, stay up with a bonfire, and wake up to a great view of the College Farm. Reserve your camping spot within our conference registration process as an “add on” feature.

If you have not already booked your camping spot, please modify your registration to include camping reservations.

  • Campers should bring their own tent, sleeping bag, and other camping necessities.
  • Toilets and running water are provided.
  • Ground mats or tarps are recommended – if weather is poor, campers will stay in the Barn.
  • Flashlights or a lantern are recommended.

Questions about camping can be sent to farm@dickinson.edu.

Campers must be able to provide their own transportation between the Farm and the Dickinson main campus for the conference (the Farm is located six miles from the campus).
