Lodging & Meals

News Flash: PLEASE HELP MSI PURCHASE THE SILVERTON LAKES PROPERTY FOR OUR FIELD STATION (click here).

MSI has provided affordable lodging for education, research and non-profit users since September 2004. Until May 2008, MSI operated its field station out of the historic Avon Hotel. Last summer, the Institute switched operations to the Outward Bound Campus and the Hostel.

This summer (2010), MSI is leasing the Outward Bound Campus/Silverton Lakes Campground and will offer lodging from May 1st to October 30. MSI hopes to acquire the property (read more).

Please contact MSI and we will help to put together a package that suits all of your lodging, classroom and research/education needs.

Contact MSI at 970-387-5161 or fill out the contact form.
