What a start we’ve had to the new year here at Valley
View! So many new things are happening. We’ve
decided to do something old and get back to our
communal roots. The ways we are doing this are by
making Oak House a communal space again, and
providing coffee and tea to guests in the Welcome
Center every morning. Campers and those staying in
small cabins without a kitchen have the option to use
the facilities at the Oak House. We ask that campers
continue using the food storage cabin to store their
food, and those staying in the small cabins use their
refrigerators. Please continue to be mindful of extra
quiet hours from 10 pm-8 am, especially in communal
spaces. The pavilion kitchen is still an option, and we
strongly encourage guests to use this space when
weather permits. Thank you for your everlasting
support and understanding.
We look forward to communing over a warm beverage
with you all again!

We celebrated the holiday season with our annual staff party in December. We honored Doug Bishop’s retirement and will forever be grateful for his many contributions. We will carry his lessons forward into the years to come.

Each department was busy in December with many projects, some of which we hope you notice and others we hope you don’t. The bathhouses and welcome center are sure to catch your eye.

We are thrilled to offer our members a new website. Thank you for your patience and feedback as we expand our online offerings. We continue navigating our new reservation system, learning more each day.

I am thrilled to step into the role of Executive Director as the new year begins. I am dedicated to keeping the culture and magic alive and continuing the legacy of those who came before me.

Thank you for your continued support of the Orient Land Trust.
