We will have a buffet-style, build-your-own sandwich bar, which also includes drinks, potato chips, and cookies. If your student has a dietary restriction, please note this during registration so we can do our best to accommodate. We cannot accept new dietary requests on the day of the event.
At drop-off when students check in, they will have an opportunity to look through the workshops being offered and select which ones they wish to attend. Each workshop has a limited number of spaces, and it is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
