Sunbridge Institute students have a variety of housing and dining options available to them in and around campus. (Please note, however: Sunbridge itself is not directly involved in and carries no responsibility for these services.)
Dormitory Accommodations
Holder House, located just behind the Main House, is the dormitory serving students and visitors to our “Threefold Community” campus. Built in 1991 through a partnership of Sunbridge and the Threefold Educational Center, Holder House houses guests from Sunbridge, the Pfeiffer Center, the Seminary of the Christian Community, and Eurythmy Spring Valley. Residents of the 40 guest rooms share the use of four kitchens, thirteen bathrooms, and a coin-operated laundry facility.
Reserving a Room
Room reservations for Holder House are handled directly through the Threefold Educational Center. Reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, according to opening dates as specified on the Threefold website, and must be accompanied by a code provided by the affiliated Threefold institution. Arriving Sunbridge program students and course registrants are sent this reservation code by our admissions/summer office when room blocks become available. Read about Threefold housing and submit an online housing request form.
Home Stays
Many families in our community rent out guest rooms to visitors who come to campus to participate in programs, courses, and workshops. “Home Stay” accommodations vary, but most are within walking distance of campus. All arrangements are made directly between homeowner and guest; Sunbridge assumes no responsibility for Home Stays. View Home Stay information to download the latest list of accommodations.
