  • Transportation
    We will use private and/or rental cars or vans for transportation around the battlefield.  If driving, and you rent a mini-van, would you consider driving during our battlefield tours. If so, we would probably assign at least 5 total conferees to your van and will cover your gas expenses during the conference. Email us for any questions. We start conferences on either Wednesday or Monday.  Arrival: If you fly into BWI or Dulles on Monday, plan to arrive by 12 noon.  This will give you chance to get your rental car/van in time to arrive at Gettysburg by 2:30 pm or so.  We’ll start our first battlefield tour at 4 pm sharp and it will set the stage for the whole conference.  Please work out your schedule to arrive rested.  We’ll have a full schedule for all four days.  Departure: Feel free to depart anytime on Friday morning, but remember that it’s about a 2 hour drive to each locations.  Most folks plan their departure flights for not earlier than 11 am on Sunday.
  • Items to Bring
    Both assigned books; Bible (Old and New Testaments) – small, portable; Pens and Notebook (we’ll provide a Field Manual, but you might want a separate notebook); Money for souvenirs, etc; snacks during tours on your own.
  • Clothing
    Hiking shoes (we’ll do quite a bit of walking, at times thru muddy fields); Bring layered, comfortable clothing – jeans, rain/wind jacket, shorts for a sunny day; We’ll be doing a horse ride – rain or shine – so bring a good rain coat.
