• An NFA parent chaperone is required for any student staying overnight.
   
  • If another NFA parent has agreed to chaperone your child, please arrange this directly with the family prior to registration.
     
  • If you plan for your child to bunk or room with other students, coordinate with the other families beforehand to ensure roommates are properly listed for the group.

Please select your preferred option and ensure all arrangements are made as necessary. We look forward to a safe and enjoyable retreat experience for all students and will share more trip details once we are booked. 

We are delighted to report that with Camelback has waived the resort fee for all room bookings.  You must book through NFA using this form.
