GLAMPING
WANT A BLEND OF COMFORT & OUTDOORS?
What Is Glamping?
Glamping is where glamour, camping, and nature harmonically blend. It’s a way to experience the untamed and completely unique parts of the world—without having to sacrifice safety and comforts. You can wake up in a yurt in the mountains or stay in a quaint pod by the sea. Feel free to spend time in a treehouse in the forest or wherever your heart desires! (glamping.com)

Glamping provides the best of both worlds, comfort and adventure. It gives people the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and the benefits of nature as they age. Continue to connect with yourself and loved ones through glamping.
This is a great opportunity to explore, connect, and relax outdoors while limiting any safety or accessibility concerns you may have. Previous glampers describe it as "a comfortable option while still being outdoors" and "cozy and allows you to still be immersed in nature and animals."
YURTS
Yurts are built using ancient techniques and modern materials to withstand extreme climates and offer dependable shelter in the great outdoors. Yurts are sturdy, portable, and spacious circular structures that produce nearly no carbon footprint. (fieldmag.com)
Glamping in a yurt is convenient as the yurt is already set up with sleeping arrangements and necessities. All you have to do is bring your luggage in and relax. Depending on the size of the yurt, there may be a bathroom in your yurt. The typical yurt will have surrounding sites that share a communal restroom.

LUXURY TENT
Tents can range from big to small sizes. Most luxury tents provide a full to king-sized bed, sitting area, and all necessities required for a comfortable stay. Think of this as a hotel room in a thick insulated tent. Glamping in a luxury tent is optimal for individuals who require assistance for mobility, balance, or coordination issues.
You can expect flat grounds, spacious tents, barrier-free navigation, and optimal lighting for walking during night. The sturdy structure of the tents makes it feel as if it is a home away from home.

TEPEE
Tepee's also know as a Tipi, Provide a taste of native history and give an opportunity to connect to the environment in a different way. Tepees are roomy and durable structures that are big enough to house a fire and several people comfortably. They are usually covered with a variety of materials ranging from cotton to canvas.
Tepees size, shape, and layout are customizable so find one that suits you best. Typically, they have tarps and rugs on the floor to provide an even ground where you don't feel rocks and sticks underneath. However, Tepees do not have great insulation and there is not a restroom in the tepee.

PODS
Pod camping is a new concept that has continued to grow over the last few years. Pod camping is similar to a portable round small home. Pod structures come insulated, fully furnished, with walls that tend to be more soundproof. If you are looking for a a modern, spacious, and cozy stay, pods may be a good choice for you.
Pods provide a space that is minimalistic, easy to navigate, and accessible for all. This is a highly recommended option for individuals who may have mobility, balance, vision, or mental issues. The open, clean, spacious floor plans allow you to not have to worry about your stay in the pod and focus on your adventure outdoors!

CABINS
Forget inflatable mattresses and canteens – we’re talking memory foam mattresses, blender drinks, and single-flush toilets. Cabins provide a convenient, comfortable, and luxurious stay in the wild. Enjoy temperature control, a real bed, and savoring hot showers just feet away from the rich natural environment. Cabins can range from smaller cabins with minimal supplies to cabins that are newly renovated and modern cabins with everything you need and more... maybe even a hot tub!
