TTC Immersion Weekend is a day camp, not an overnight, sleepaway camp, thus accommodations are NOT included in your registration and should be reserved separately.
Parents/guardians will be responsible for their student participant(s) before and after the scheduled daytime programming, as well as overnight.
Many participants will be camping at Seven Points campground which can be reserved on the recreation.gov website. There are also many other camping and non-camping opportunities in the Raystown Lake Region, which you can learn about through the visitor's bureau website.

The Allegrippis Skills Park is located right next to our home base at Pine Shelter that offers a variety of features on it that may encourage riders to get their wheels off the ground and to perhaps reach beyond their skill sets.
The Allegrippis Skills Park is NOT part of weekend activities and any injuries that may occur as a result of riding within the Allegrippis Skills Park are not covered by NICA insurance. Riding in the park is at your own risk and the parents/guardians of riders assume the risk and responsibility for their riders.
