As will be noted when you check out the training schedule, you really DO need to be there from beginning to end in order to receive the full benefit of the program. We are assuming everyone will check in on the night before your session begins and check out on the day it ends. Arrangements can be made for extended hotel dates as needed.

The Place:

The Boot Camp will be held at the Concourse Hotel, located on the grounds of the Port Columbus (OH) airport.

We have NOT reserved a block of rooms at the hotel, because choices abound. There are five hotels within the same half block (with a McDonald's stuck in between), and it turns out that they are all managed by the same hotel group. They share a shuttle from the airport (no ground transportation charges!) and they are ALL convenient to the meeting space, so you could book in at any of the properties and be just fine. That means you get to choose how upscale you want your accommodations to be, and negotiate your own price with Priceline.com, Hotels.com, or one of the other travel websites - and all at a STARTING reasonable price (this is Columbus, in mid-December!). The Concourse Inn is kind of the "top of the line" and includes an indoor swimming pool, an exercise room, and all the amenities, but all of the properties are relatively new and very acceptable, clean and safe.
