You will be responsible for round-trip transportation costs from your home to our departure place in Boulder, as well as your meals and accommodations during the trip. We will provide bottled water, drinks and snacks.  We advise you buy an inexpensive travel insurance policy from AAA or similar vendor as we will not be liable and will have a waver to sign.

We will reserve blocks of rooms for our group, and we have negotiated discounts in some of the venues. We ask that you confirm your room as soon as possible, so we will all be together in the same facility. If you are traveling single, we will do our best to help you find a roommate, but we cannot guarantee this.
