Its about time for a great family /retirement vacation that upholds biblical values and provides great educational opportunities!
- How about great field trips guided by experts in their field?
- What if it was very AFFORDABLE?
That sounds great... but...How much will this cost me?
The conference is sponsored by IBA and we offer it to the public with no admission fee. We do require [free] registration (below) to hold your place. We will take free will offerings during the events to help defray costs. While participating in the field trips you will incur travel expenses because everyone uses their own transportation. Many of the parks will have their own admission fees. Each person will be responsible for meals and lodging while at the conference. Camping is available in the Billings area. We have a block of rooms reserved at the Resort with a discounted price.
