Important Terms & Conditions
-
Your application will be reviewed for placement in the Academy. You will be notified of acceptance within 2 weeks.
-
Upon acceptance, a $250 deposit is required to hold your registration. Mail a check or pay by credit card on our Shop page.
-
As you register, you will be asked for your lodging preferences. Initially you will be invoiced at the BASE REGISTRATION RATE of $950 (Lodge-Sgl) and later the appropriate upgrades will be applied to your invoice, based on your lodging assignment. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences.
Note that the facilities at the DRC necessitate that we consider many factors when assigning lodging —such as how many women and men register, consideration for physical limitations, or if we have married couples. There are more lodge rooms than cabins, so most students will be housed in the lodges. Cabins usually fill quickly, are subject to availability, and are prioritized for married couples.
You will be notified of your assignment by June 15 or earlier. In some cases, we might need to make a change to your lodging assignment to appropriately accommodate the entire group. Please be patient with us; it’s a little like a game of Tetris!
