Ticks
Ticks are small biting parasitic arachnids that are native to this area. They are also the principal vector for transmitting Lyme Disease. Climate change has exacerbated the number of ticks in our region.
Lyme Disease is a serious auto-immune disease that can cause various systemic immune-deficiencies in people. If discovered early it is easily treated and curable! There are a lot of ticks here. They are generally active between early April and late November, however climate change has made their active times less reliable.
We always go over in detail with our participants general tick prevention measures while on-site including daily tick checks, clothing recommendations and information about Lyme and Lyme prevention. We recommend the following products for deterring ticks: Geranium essential oil, Terra-shield Essential oil, Jojoba oil, and Deep Woods Off. Some of these products we carry in the store in our office.
Accommodation
The Field Center has shared bedrooms with attached bathrooms and a large field for camping.
See our FACILITIES PAGE for more details.
COVID-19
We take the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously and recognize the devastating impact it has had on dance and performance specifically and communities generally, especially those most vulnerable. We are following all State and CDC guidelines as they shift and evolve and will pivot accordingly.
The Field Center was founded during the height of the pandemic and it's layout allows for podding and quarantining via separate rooms/bathrooms and studios.
​
Our current protocol is to highly encourage testing prior to arrival at any of our events [we can often provide tests if needed] and for folks who feel most comfortable wearing masks do so if they wish. Neither are required at this time unless specified in a specific event.
Please do not attend events if you are feeling sick, COVID or not. Thank you!
