This trip is dedicated to being an immersive experience for the athletes - Parents are invited to join throughout the trip, but should not plan on being at the Airbnb with the team during the day. ​​

​​​​​

Is there an option for Athletes to participate and NOT stay with the team?

Please contact us directly is this situation applies to you. While this could be an option, we do not recommend it as it will 1) require a significant amount of coordinating to ensure your athlete gets the full experience 2) hinder the overall experience for your athlete, and 3) increases the cost/person at our Airbnbs. In our opinion, it takes away from the overall experience were are trying to provide you!

​​

Where will athletes be staying?

Exact address for airbnb(s) will be shared following the deposit deadline. Athletes in attendance will stay together at Team Airbnb(s). We anticipate having 15+ Athletes join, but are prepared for either situation in the case that multiple housing accommodations are required.​ In the event we have 8 -16 Athletes, we will stay at 1 Airbnb. In the event we have 16+ Athletes, we will stay at 2+ Airbnb's.​​ Athletes will either sleep in their own bed (twin/queen) or share a bed with 1 other athlete (King Bed). Men & Women will not be sharing the same rooms. Following the deposit deadline, final bookings will be made to confirm our reservations at specific Airbnb(s). Each rental unit will have staff staying on site to ensure the safety & well being of all athletes in attendance, and athletes will be under supervision at all times.​We have already confirmed availability for multiple rental options. We will select these accommodations based on the group attending. There is limited space, so reserve your spot!
