The best part of this adventure is the price. A starting fare as low as $1695 (guest rates start at $1250) includes your accommodations and meals as well as CEUs. This fare also includes ground transportation from the airport to the resort and back. Rates are determined based on the classes you are taking and the accommodations you desire. Guests (not taking classes) are welcome and have reduced rates (see chart below).
