The school will be the evening of 2/22/26- through lunchtime 2/27/26. This venue is located on the beautiful St John’s River and lodging and meals are all on site! There will be day student tuition as well as resident tuition. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided. As soon as I get some cadre confirmations and nail down pricing, I will open registration! For the resident students, lodging will only be available 2/22 through the morning of 2/27 for those that are staying for the games.
