Registration
Symposium is now full - no more registrations are being accepted.
 
Accommodations
  • There are private rooms, (rooms filled), and dormitory space, (dorm still space available), at the Higher Ground facility. (Local Motels available - see below). (Dorms require bringing your own linen).
  • Once the dorm rooms are full it will be necessary to utilize an off site Motel lodging and to make your own arrangements for Motel accommodations.( A Motel listing is shown below).
  • RV Parking - Higher Ground has an RV park with full hook-ups. Reservations for a space in the RV area may be made on the registration form. The RV area is about a five to ten minute easy walk, one small hill, to the activities. (some pull-thru sites, special arrangements required for late arrivals, after 4:00 PM)
  • The number of Symposium attendees is limited to 230 people so that each individual is able to obtain an excellent, close up view of the demonstration and to be able to interact with the presenter.
  • The Higher Ground facility has sufficient capacity to handle all meals. We recommend that you take advantage of the meal package at the Facility since the nearest restaurants are located several miles from the Higher Ground Center. You will find the seating at the Facility's dining hall is conducive to meeting other turners, provides an opportunity to interact with the demonstrators and the excellent food is varied, and plentiful.
(No alcoholic beverages are permitted at the Center. No Smoking in the rooms or in any building)
