Paying by PayPal or credit card will complete the reservation and a paid ticket will be issued.
During the checkout process, you do have the option to pay by check (Manual Payment at checkout). The registrar must receive the check within 30 days of the online reservation to complete it. If no payment has been received by that 30-day date the reservation will be removed. Once the check is received, registration is complete.
​
Refund Policy
We will issue a refund of the ticket price until registration closes on September 6, 2024. Any transaction fees are not refundable. After that date please contact the Registrar.
​
Accommodations:
Accommodation will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.
Please note that the reservation will cover only those nights reserved. We may be unable to make any changes to your reservation when you arrive. So for example, if you sign up for a Saturday through Monday stay, we may not be able provide a room should you arrive on Friday if the Resort has no rooms available.
​
Single occupancy is one guest per hotel room. Double, triple, and quadruple rooms are furnished with two double beds. For example, a double room accommodates two guests with two double beds, a triple room accommodates three guests with two double beds, and a quadruple room accommodates four guests with two double beds. A limited number of cots are available; include your request when registering.
When registering for double and triple rooms, if you do not have a roommate(s), we will assign them based on gender and other stated preferences. If we cannot find a roommate(s), unfortunately we cannot honor your room preference. You would then need to make a different room choice. Do not purchase a quadruple room ticket unless you have four people willing to sleep together in double beds. Although cots are available, they are limited in number.
​
Meal Plans:
Meal plans are as follows: the 8-meal plan includes Friday dinner through Monday breakfast. The 6-meal plan includes Saturday lunch through Monday breakfast. The Saturday or Sunday Commuter plans include breakfast, lunch and dinner.
​
Additional Notes:
If you need transportation to the Resort, or can provide it, please be sure to check the applicable box on the registration form. We will try to coordinate rides to the site.
