We strongly encourage you to arrange your lodging at the YMCA.
If you choose to stay off-site, you will be charged an additional $25 per day ($100 total) which is the YMCA required day-use fee.
We have been building momentum and excitement for the past year and have a large “Watch List.” Response rate and active interest has been awesome. This will be a fantastic gathering.
