Special Focus Delegations

Delegations fill quickly and must be booked in advance in order to give enough preparation time.  This is especially true for spring delegations.  We encourage groups who are looking to come in the spring to call at least 6 months in advance.  Small groups are encouraged to participate in these programs.  Contact us to join.
