I urge you to visit Canaan Valley Resort’s website at: to check out all of the activities Canaan has to offer. We will have an extended break time during lunch on Friday so that you can explore some of the wild and wonderful mountain beauty! Some of the features include: A Geoffrey Cornish 18-hole championship golf course, scenic chair lift rides, hiking/mountain biking trails, geocaching, climbing wall, eurobungy, fitness center, saunas, paintball, and an indoor swimming pool.

We will have tasty snacks throughout the conference, as well as a delicious lunch and dinner on Friday, however, if you are hungry beyond that, you are on your own.
