The Hampton Inn will be our "school" this year. They will re-arrange their rooms into classrooms toward the back of the hotel to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We sincerely believe it is the best option we have after our original school was cancelled in April.
The Hampton is fully accessible with a large elevator, and air conditioned with a separate unit in each room. The schedule has been adjusted slightly to give more time between classes.
The Sunday night Welcome Party Jam and Packet Pick-Up will be held at the Gunthrie Opportunity Center at 6:00 PM. All Sunday Night events and activities will be held there while the rooms are being transferred into our school at the Hampton.

We are sure you will love our location this year!
