Drop-Off: Friday, September 6

• 3:00pm: Drop-off musicians at Brown School, 150 Corlaer Ave., Schenectady, NY.
• Buses will depart promptly at 4:00 pm.

Pick-Up: Sunday, September 8

• 2:45pm: Pick-up musicians at Brown School (buses will depart Frost Valley at 12:45 pm). 

Housing
Musicians bring their own sleeping bags and sleep indoors on bunks in comfortable lodges, all of which have indoor plumbing and hot water. Chaperones sleep in the same lodges as the musicians, but in separate rooms. Lodge/room assignments are made primarily based on the musicians’ ages. Musicians may request a roommate (through the online registration process) and we will try to meet that request.

Staff & Chaperones
Frost Valley staff members are well trained and know our needs. We also have a staff of chaperones attuned to the needs of both teenagers and the younger musicians on the trip. Musicians will be supervised at all times. 

Activities
Musicians will be able to choose from a wide-range of recreational activities during the rehearsal breaks. All musicians should be prepared for lots of walking to and from lodges and rehearsal spaces.

Food 
Musicians must bring a “bag” dinner to eat on the bus Friday evening; all other meals will be provided. Special diets can be accommodated; notify us about special diets on the online registration form.

What to Bring
Musicians will receive detailed information about this as the retreat date approaches.
