Open fires are not permitted during Camp. Please do not use incense, candles, or open flame lanterns outdoors or when camping.

While we love all animals, visiting pets are not allowed on the Land.

We cannot offer refrigeration to attendees during Camp. If you have items you wish to remain cold, we recommend bringing a cooler chilled with ice, frozen water bottles, or ice packs.

While weather can be challenging to predict in this day and age, temperatures in Silver City during September are typically in the 60s during the day and the 50s at night, mostly sunny, with a few rainy days here and there.

Drinking water fresh from our year-round spring is available by the Retreat Center from the spigots in the yard.

Shared community showers are located in the Retreat Center and draw their water from our year-round spring. Those staying in the Retreat Center are welcome to use the indoor showers. All others are invited to use the outdoor showers. Please limit your shower time to 10 minutes during Camp to ensure that hot water is available for the next person.

The water in Bear Creek is okay for wading, but not for drinking. During Camp, an area for dunking and swimming in the Creek is designated. Wading in the Creek at other locations is fine. Children must be supervised at all times while at the Creek. Please respect our local flora and fauna and do not utilize the creek for washing of any kind.

Electricity here is possible only with solar systems and capabilities are minimal. Please be mindful by turning off lights when not in use and not running or charging electronics with high demand after dark.

Our Community is entirely off-grid and at present there are no public phone or email options available. Some cell phones may or may not have service uphill from the main gate.

We are asking that everyone be responsible for their own well-being during Camp. Please be kind and attend Camp only if you are feeling perfectly well and experiencing no symptoms of contagious illness. Credit of purchase price towards a future Southwest Sufi Camp will be offered to those who cannot attend the event due to illness.

We strongly suggest that our visitors bring only high clearance or 4×4 vehicles to SSC. The road leading to the Community is steep and rugged and hard on vehicles, and is often impassable in rainy and snowy weather, even with 4WD.

All Campers must sign a Liability Waiver before arriving. This Waiver acknowledges that our Community will not be held responsible for any damages or hardships that may occur during your visit, including illness.
