Coming to TBS? A couple of things you need to know:

You'll be asked at check-in to sign a form acknowledging you're aware of these, so here's advance notice. These are policies of both the National Spiritual Assembly and the Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation.  If you are bringing friends of the Faith, please share this information with them:

1. No pets. Normally the hotel can accommodate them, but not during the School. You'll face a stiff fee for violating that restriction. Let the registrar know if you're allergic so you can be assigned to the appropriate room.

2. No firearms, alcohol or illegal drugs. For your safety the grounds are patrolled by uniformed Park Rangers, who have the same status as State Troopers.
