SHEAR is located on the east side of CA 127 & 178, across the highway from the Shoshone Inn motel.

The facilities include the main buildings, 2 bunkhouses, and 1 permanent trailer. The facilities can comfortably accommodate groups as large as 22 students, plus faculty and teaching assistants.

One wing of the main buildings [see map] has a large kitchen and common area for meals, meetings, socializing, and study. The kitchen is fully equipped with two ranges, a refrigerator, microwave, cookware, coffee makers, dishes, and tableware. The other wing has a shower and two guestrooms with bunk beds; one of the rooms can accommodate six people, the other four. The Lauren Wright trailer, which is available in some instances, has a large bedroom and full bath, a small bedroom and half bath, and a complete kitchen. The trailer has been completely renovated as of April 2021.

Each bunkhouse has a bathroom and shower and can accommodate 6 people. All bunk beds have mattresses. Each person needs to bring a sleeping bag, towel, and a pillow if needed.. The bathroom in the north bunkhouse has been completely renovated and now features a new shower and other facilities. You can also set up tents in the back yard east of the main buildings.

All sleeping rooms and the main meeting room have wall-mounted heat/AC units.

Tap water in Shoshone, supplied by a reverse-osmosis plant, is excellent and abundant.

Fast wi-fi is available throughout SHEAR. We will provide the password before a group arrives.
