Additional nights are available at our standard rate.  However, availability cannot be guaranteed except for during the duration of your program.  Before you book your travel, please inquire with our team about the availablity of your desired stay dates to be sure we can accommodate your needs.

We ask that you arrive by 5:30pm Eastern for appetizers and welcomes at the start of your event (unless you have made other arrangements with our programming team). Please plan your travel accordingly!

The Highlights Foundation no longer offers in-house shuttle transportation services from the airport; however, our team will work with you to make sure your transportation is set all the way to our retreat center.  We will be in touch ahead of your retreat to help book car service or a rental car, should it be needed.

AVP and EWR are our preferred airports (AVP is one hour away, and EWR is three hours away). Other nearby airports could be an option! Please reach out to our team at faculty@higihlightsfoundation.zendesk.com if you’d like help with your travel plans.
