Every effort is made to keep the costs for programs as low as possible. Full program fees will include instruction, lodging and all meals at Seabeck Christian Conference Center. Once again there will be an “instruction-only” option for students who choose lodging off campus. We plan to offer a multi-month payment plan for our 2011 Winter School. Check back for more details in coming months. Please help us help you by registering early (and tell your friends!).
Registration deadline for 2011 is Friday, December 31, 2010. All registrations must be received by CAF by that date. No exceptions will be made.
