LODGING/DINING

Mendocino Woodlands

 Barátság is located in Camp One of the beautiful Mendocino Woodlands, an idyllic, village-like setting surrounded by the giant coastal Redwoods of the Jackson State Forest in Northern California.  Sunny meadows by the large beaver pond and wandering paths through the woods invite one to a lazy afternoon or a magical experience exploring the majesty of the towering Redwood forests.  Its location near the picturesque coastal town of Mendocino means the camp enjoys exceptionally pleasant weather and added site-seeing and shopping opportunities.

The quaint wooden cabins of Camp One, graced with balconies and fireplaces, are clustered in little “villages” among the redwood trees and offer a wonderful sense of privacy with only 2 to 4 per cabin!  Each “village” has its own conveniently located restroom facility with electricity and hot, private showers.

The dining hall of Camp One has a fully equipped professional kitchen joining two rooms for dining and meeting, each with a large fireplace.  Nearby is the Assembly Hall with 1800 sq. ft. of solid wood floor, inviting us all to hours of music, dancing and fun.  Together with the amphitheater and meadows, there are a variety of areas for classes, meals, and daily activities. 

Gourmet Dining with Jeff O’Connor!

 Barátság 2002 offers an extraordinary lineup of teachers, dance and music in a picture-perfect setting.  As if this weren’t enough, we will also take you on an exceptional culinary journey that has become a major part of the Barátság experience, thanks to the skillfulness and dedication of Jeff O’Connor and his crew.  Since that first camp 20 years ago, Jeff has prepared our meals using only the freshest ingredients and complimented with daily doses of freshly baked, homemade bread – his menu rivals many a fine restaurant.  Together with his crew, Jeff promises another weeklong indulgence in the finest food fest around.
