Can I come early or stay past the workshop dates?
If you absolutely have to come early, there is a fee of $25 per day to cover accommodations ($15) and meals ($10). We do not recommend doing this unless it is to help Uncle Ken Morgan with preparing the ranch.
Everyone must leave the site after the conclusion of the workshop, no exceptions. If you need to stay longer, we ask that you make your own arrangements with local families or make reservations at a hotel close to your departure airport. If you need help, you can contact the core staff.
