Are the adult programs only offered in August/September?

Post by JennyGirl »

Yes, I am a newbie, so I have lots of questions that I'll be asking in the near future...sorry. I am looking to register for the adult program, and I'd much rather do the 6 day, however August/September isn't going to be an easy time to request an entire week off of work. Do they offer the weeklong program at other times during the year? If not, I'll have to register for the 3 day program (disappointing, as I've dreamed of doing the 6 day for years).

I'd appreciate any help.

It looks that usually they only offer the 6 day near the end of August or the beginning of September. This is inconvenient for many of us who have ever wished to do the 6 day program, but I guess it's probably the only time of the year they have enough space. All summer the youth camps fill up the hab (where you sleep), so that may be why they can't hold an adult 6-day camp in the summer.

There is sometimes an adult 8 day offered in October as well.
