Children and PetsChildrenWe have various numbers and ages of children living here, and we value and honor the roles of children in our lives and culture. Some of our children are home schooled and public schooled (Pleasant Hill School District), while others attend charter or private schools in Eugene. We ask parents to be proactive and honest with the rest of the community about their expectations about interactions between the children and community residents, and the ways in which the parent(s) are expecting support from the community.
Children and parents will pick up toys and dishes left in the lodge and on the property and put them away in agreed upon places. Parents must be extra vigilant of the ways that their children are leaving spaces, treating Lost Valley or others’ personal property, or affecting community gatherings, business meetings or events that we are hosting.
No bikes, wagons, or other toys will be left on the pathways, as they create a potential hazard in the dark.
Kids' space in public areas will be left in relative order after children have been playing there.
*Quiet time during meals for 45 minutes. No loud voices, running or roughhousing.*

impact on the native small mammals and birds. We might consider an indoor-only cat. Small indoor animals, such as parakeets, hamsters, rabbits and goldfish are unlikely to present a problem. Any prospective new pets have a "trial period" to determine if they will make good community members. There is a $50 pet deposit.
