Prices and Other Details
for the 16th Summer Texas Toot - 2014

June 8 - 14, 2014

Housing

Toot participants will be housed in Concordia's brand-new Residence Hall dorm (location H on the campus map...) The accommodations are 2-person suites with private bath, and all linens are provided. If you prefer not to stay in a dorm, there are numerous hotels in the surrounding area.

Meals

Concordia's dining facility on their new campus is run by Sodexo, a world-class integrated food service and facilities management company. The variety and quality of the food offered is quite good, as past Summer Toot participants will attest. Vegetarian diets and other special dietary requirements are well accommodated by the food service.

A "commuter" meal plan is offered (lunches and dinners only), in order to encourage commuters to take advantage of the fellowship, conversation, and convenience of the on-campus facilities — all valuable aspects of the workshop experience.

Transportation

The Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is approximately 35 minutes by car from the Concordia University campus. Ground transportation from/to the airport is available via shuttle service or taxi.

The Toot staff is available to help you solve transportation quandaries. If you will be flying in, please click here to send us email (or address your own email to transport@toot.org) with your flight times so we can help coordinate those arrangements more efficiently.

If you are driving, see the page of driving directions to Concordia on their own Web site. If you need other assistance with transportation information, please contact us.

There will be a few rooms available for those who need to arrive a day early, or to stay an extra night (around $39 per person for room only). Try to book return flights around mid- to late afternoon on Saturday.

You may register online, but we must receive your deposit check for $100 by postal mail to complete your registration. Deposit is refundable until May 21, 2014.

If you wish to receive a paper registration form, email info@toot.org with that request. Remember to include your name and snail-mail address!
