Housing: We have space in our guest house for up to 20 people. (You may bring sleeping bags to accommodate extra people, and we have additional spaces for visitors when available.) Our lodging includes bedding, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a small living room, but please bring your own towels. Our suggested donation is $10 per person per night.

Meals: Koinonia serves a community meal every weekday at noon. Suggested donations are $6 for adults and $3 for children. Your group may prepare other meals in your lodging, or you may request that we cook and serve other meals for suggested donations of $4 per adult ($2 per child) for breakfast and $8 per adult ($4 per child) for supper.

Work: Along with study, prayer and service, work is part of our life together. Many groups support the community and their own spiritual renewal through working in the organic garden (mulching, planting, weeding, pruning, and harvesting fruit); on maintenance projects such as painting and repairs; farm work such as trail upkeep and clearing limbs from the pecan orchards; bakery work such as packaging chocolate and pecans; and service at the Koinonia Community Outreach Center’s youth or elder programs.

Education: Tours of Koinonia Farm, orchards, museum, and villages—on foot or by tractor-drawn wagon—are held at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm Monday-Saturday. If you inquire in advance, we may also arrange activities, speakers, and tours (or you may arrange your own sessions). Possible topics include environmentalism, organic gardening, prison & jail conditions in the rural south, race relations, the history of civil rights in Sumter County, Koinonia history, Clarence Jordan's life and writings, peace & justice issues, simple living and materialism, etc.

For fun: We often have bonfires, cookouts, walks, volleyball, basketball, games, sing-alongs, potlucks, and other spontaneous gatherings!
