Additional Retreat Costs
Housing & meals not included in tuition cost
Retreat accommodations are an additional cost and must be purchased separately through the Highlights Foundation. Once you register for the retreat, the link to pay for your housing (full weekend retreat) or meal plan (one day ticket) will be located under "More information" in your scbwi.org My Events feed. As housing is first come first served, we highly recommend booking housing on the same day as registering for the retreat.
Add a faculty one-on-one meeting
A limited number of one-on-one critique meetings with the faculty are available at an additional cost.
