Lodging
Lodging at NOVA 4H will be in Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson Hall, with a beautiful back deck to watch a mountainside sunset. Staying on site allows interaction and collaboration among the workshop participants in an informal and beautiful setting. For the true WAIS Workshop experience, we strongly recommend staying on-site, but it is somewhat rustic with shared rooms. Lodging will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and we do have space available for nearly all participants to stay on site in shared quarters. For those staying on site, you will be provided a fitted sheet, fleece blanket, and bath towel. Please bring your own pillow and, if you sleep cold, perhaps another small blanket.
For those preferring a hotel, there are several options nearby in Front Royal, VA (about 10–15 minutes away by car); we have not arranged a room block, so you are on your own for lodging and transportation to/from NOVA4H every day if you choose not to stay on site.
Refund Policy
Registration types can be changed with any price difference refunded (or charged) to the attendee until the registration close date on August 20. Registration can be canceled and refunded with $100 fee until September 7, after which there will be no refunds. If there are any questions, please contact us.
WAIS Workshop Livestream
A note about the virtual livestream: The 2026 WAIS Workshop will have a free livestream option that will allow viewing all talks and discussions free of charge, with an opportunity to submit questions/comments for presenters and panelists digitally. Additional details, including links, will be sent to the WAIS Workshop email list.
