Spend an hour with us to get your 2023 cover designed and ready to go! Please note all other workshop registration options include a cover session.

What items should my staff and I bring?
For the workshop, please bring a copy of the 2022 yearbook and any materials you feel will help you in the planning process (theme for 2023, ladder, notebook, pens, pencils, etc.). Many attendees like to use their laptops to work on spread designs. Photographers should bring a digital DSLR camera, memory cards, chargers, as well as any lenses and detachable flashes you may have. Don’t forget to bring sweaters for the conference rooms and a bathing suit for the waterpark!
Can I bring members of my family to stay with me and enjoy the park?
Yes, this option is for advisers only, who choose the 1-occupancy room. You may add up to 4 additional members of your family (adults and children) for $25 per night, per member. For example if you wanted a family member to bring 2 children for 1 night, the total cost would be $75. This does not include food or workshop materials. All meals must be purchased separately. Each person staying in the room will receive a wristband to enter the waterpark. You can be invoiced separately if you'd like.
Are parent chaperones welcome to come?
Chaperones are welcome, but must be registered as an attendee and pay the registration fee.
Can students pay online for their individual workshop fee?
