ACCOMMODATIONS

---

We are grateful to Steve Zakon-Anderson, who has served as our fabulous chef for the past four years.

In 2026, we are excited to enjoy the culinary expertise of Brattleboro Food Co-op's Potash Hill kitchen team. More info coming soon!

Meals are a big part the Romp community experience. Everyone is included. Plan to join us for meals even if you choose to stay offsite! There is no discount for missed meals.

RiverJam Romp takes place at Potash Hill (formerly Marlboro College) in Marlboro, Vermont. Onsite housing options include all-season dorm rooms or primitive tenting. 

The cost of participation is the same whether you sleep onsite or offsite. Overnighting is reserved for full-weekend participants. 

Housing preferences are first-come, first-served. The best way to ensure dorm housing is to register early and send your payment promptly.

DORMS

Potash Hill's dorms are modern, comfortable, and 100% weatherized. Bedding and pillows are not provided. Mattresses are standard (long) waterproof dorm issue. You may wish to bring a mattress pad for comfort.

Dorm rooms (single and double) are reserved for participants who are arriving before dinner (by 5:30 pm) on Friday, staying both Friday and Saturday nights, and leaving on Sunday. 

Dorm availability is limited, and dorms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a few ADA compliant dorm rooms. If you have a special dorm or room request, please note it on your registration form.

Sleeping in buildings is allowed ONLY in dorm rooms (not hallways or common areas). Single capacity rooms can ONLY have one sleeper in them. Double capacity rooms can ONLY have two sleepers in them. There is one triple available. Beds must not be added to rooms. 

Dorm keys must be kept safe all weekend and returned before leaving the Romp on Sunday. To receive your dorm key at check-in, you must MAIL US a check in advance for $75 written out to "SVTM". This check will be returned to you uncashed when you return your key to us at the end of the Romp on Sunday. If your key is not returned by the end of the Romp on Sunday, your check will be cashed and used to cover Potash Hill's mandated cost of re-coring the lock.

TENTING

Primitive tenting is permitted on the soccer field. Tenting in other areas is prohibited. Campers and trailers are not permitted. No vehicles are allowed to drive or park on the soccer field at any time.

We recommend arriving between 4:30-5:30pm on Friday if you plan to set up a tent, as dinner begins right at 6:00 and flows into the evening activities without a break.

Tenters may use the dorms available to us for restroom facilities and showers. There will also be a Rich Earth portajohn available near the tenting area.

Please adhere to the motto, “Leave no trace.”

COMMUTING

If you live in the area and would rather sleep in your own bed, or if you prefer another local option, that is totally fine. 

Please arrive in time to participate in all meals, as meals are an essential time for community  building and connection.

The cost of weekend participation is the same whether you sleep onsite or offsite, and there is no discount for missed meals. 

PARKING

Parking for all on-campus overnighters is in a far lot. Day participants and commuters will park in a separate area. If you need an ADA accessible parking spot close to the dorms or other buildings, please let us know in advance. 

Sadly, there is currently no public transportation to Potash Hill, and there are no taxis, Ubers, or Lyfts in the area. If you need a ride from Brattleboro, let us know and we'll look for a willing driver.
