The Men's Advance at Bergfried

The Men’s Advance, May 3-5, 2024, welcomes all Eliot members and friends who identify at the male end of the gender spectrum. Newcomers are especially encouraged to come out starting Friday to enjoy hiking, camping, camaraderie, a Saturday night feast, and lots of super-secret men's stuff (which looks suspiciously like doing nothing). We'll be on the land through Sunday!


Ten dollars buys your ticket to the feast (kids 12 and under $5) Saturday night. All other meals are on your own.


Most choose to camp in tents or trailers; spaces in the cottage (with running water and electricity) are available by reservation with priority given to those with medical needs or physical limitations. Eight beds are also available in the rustic bunkhouses.


To sign up for the weekend, to reserve a cottage or bunkhouse space, or for any information contact mensadvance@eliotchapel.org.


Spring also promises great weather for individuals and families to visit and enjoy nature on their own. The Bergfried cottage, with air conditioning, electricity, full kitchen and bath, and running water, is available for rental ($35/night for members). Contact bergfriedreservations@eliotchapel.org whenever you are planning a trip on your own or to reserve the cottage.
