Self-Directed Residency: July 2-6, 2026

Spend your fourth of July weekend at PLAYA!

Self-Directed Residencies are for anyone seeking time and space to immerse in their creative, restful, exploratory or scientific pursuits while in an inspiring landscape and campus. Please review our Know Before You Go Handbook to see if a Self-Directed Residency at PLAYA is right for you.

🦅 Extend your stay by pairing this SDR with the Birding in the Summer Lake Basin PLAYA Experience and stay at PLAYA for free the nights in between (a stay from June 25 to July 6). Experiences are like Self-Directed Residencies, but elevated with a dinner and a field trip, evening presentation, and/or special event.
