CREATE Space

Stay where you create! A little bit about our lodging partner - River's Bend Ranch. We collaborate with a great group of folks who own and manage a working ranch in the Shenandoah Valley along the Shenandoah River. Inspiring views in all directions can't be described, you need to experience it for yourself. Our students stay together in the bunkhouse, where private sleeping rooms and baths are part of the lodging package. Meals are prepared by a private chef and are served in the bunkhouse. The instruction space is a beautiful pavilion built for weddings and really classy events.
