The workshop is designed as a community event of 12 people plus instructors sharing lodging, meals and field trips together. While we understand attendees are adults and may decide to go get a burger for lunch instead of the salad we planned (example), they register for the full workshop, not sessions without lodging or lodging without sessions. This is to ensure the best workflow possible and make sure that everyone has the chance to register for the workshop package as designed by the instructors. There will be no exceptions.
