Bar Mitzvah
“Urban Adamah was a beautiful, relaxed environment for a great evening of games, smoothie bike blending, dancing, and s’mores by the campfire. It made for a memorable evening for our family and friends.”

Community Gathering
“I had the pleasure of hosting a community gathering this past summer at Urban Adamah. From the initial email, to the very day of the party, I was met with reliable, enthusiastic, prompt and great service. The venue is spectacular.”

We collect a refundable damage and cleanliness deposit that ranges from $500–2,000 depending on the size and nature of the event.
Cost of liability insurance for a single day event ranges from $35 – $250.
Factors that inform cost include the number of guests, nature of the event, whether alcohol is being served, and whether the policy is purchased separately or added to their existing homeowner’s or auto policy.

Urban Adamah is committed to operating our campus with as little negative environmental impact as possible. This 3% fee helps cover the cost of environmental projects on site and is added to the final rental fee. Using funds collected from our rental program, we installed enough solar panels on site to cover 100% of our annual electricity needs. We also completed a site-wide grey water system that diverts used shower and laundry water from the Camp Street Residence to our perennial plants. This system saves us more than 20,000 gallons of water per year. Thank you for helping us make a difference.
We’re excited to host your group at Urban Adamah!
