Welcome to the 7th annual Green-Stock Music Festival at Valley Branch Retreat. Green-Stock will be held during the weekend of August 12th-13th, 2011. We welcome you to join us this year for our annual festival in the heart of Brown County (directly east of Brown County State Park - Nashville, Indiana) that encompasses a mixture of various musical performances, sporting activities, various cultural outdoor events and green awareness. Valley Branch Retreat rests on 500 secluded acres that has virtually been untouched by the general public, while being home to a very low-key hiking, mountain biking and paintball scene. If you've heard of Paintball Valley... this is the place.

LAYOUT AND AMENITIES :

Primitive camping is first come, first serve and included in the price of the ticket. Campsites with electric hookups and cabins must be reserved through Valley Branch and will be an extra fee. So there is no need to reserve a campsite.

The 500 acre site is equipped with an amazing in-door lodge (Harvest Hall), so RAIN WILL NOT MAKE OR BREAK THIS FESTIVAL! There are rental cabins, electric & water hook-up sites, as well as primitive camping sites. Facilities include well-maintained restrooms with showers and indoor recreational space. There is a game area with video games and all the indoor fun associated with summer camp.

Wood will be sold as most sites have fire rings (please see General Rules section for discussion about fire wood.) Vending will include arts, entertainer merchandise, food, ice, water, sodas, wood, sporting equipment rental and a few other key essentials. Feel free to bring your own food, water, ice, drinks and equipment. See General Rules section before packing.

Valley Branch Retreat also contains a clean, stocked lake near the back of the camping area with canoe, tube and row boat rental.

For questions about purchasing tickets, advance campsite reservations, group campsite reservations or other special needs, call Valley Branch Retreat at 812.988.7750.
