All the fun of orientation without leaving your state! Please note: There is a $50 fee for each student and guest attending our out-of-state orientation sessions. This fee helps to cover the cost of hosting the session in your area, as well as the provided meals and materials. You will receive a link to submit payment in your confirmation email. |
