Pond Membership Information
Threefold Pond is a private facility serving the Threefold community. Pond members must be affiliated with one of the following Threefold community institutions: Threefold Educational Foundation • Green Meadow Waldorf School • Otto Specht School • Endeavor 21+ • Sunbridge Institute • the Nature Place Day Camp • the Fellowship Community • the Pfeiffer Center • Eurythmy Spring Valley • the Fiber Craft Studio • the Steiner School of Speech Arts. You will be asked to state your affiliation during the checkout process. If you are not affiliated with a Threefold community institution, you can be sponsored by two community members who are current pond members.
Financial accessibility: While we work hard to keep the cost of membership affordable, we understand that circumstances may still present a financial hardship. If you are unable to afford the full cost of membership, please reach out to us — don’t miss out on the summer fun!
Gatekeepers needed! We are looking for pond members to volunteer four hours per week greeting people, checking memberships, and collecting payments at the gate. As a thank you, we will offer a $200 credit towards your membership! For questions or to volunteer, contact us at: pond@threefold.org.
Day passes: In season, Day Passes are available to purchase at the gate during Pond hours. The prices are: Adult $15, Senior (age 60 and up) $10, Junior (age 3-17) $8, and Child (under 3) $3.
Support Threefold Pond: Every dollar donated to Threefold Pond goes to maintenance and improvements, as well as subsidized Pond memberships for neighbors of limited means. Donate here.
