For your convenience, there is a dedicated website to make your hotel reservation for the conference. Please use the following link to make your hotel reservation:  https://aws.passkey.com/go/BGCAKeystone2017. The hotel rate is $149 plus 10.5% current sales tax and 16.4% hotel occupancy tax (note tax can change without notice) or an estimated $191.64 (includes taxes). You will need to make your hotel reservations no later than Monday, February 6^th. After this date, reservations will be based on availability and the current prevailing rate. TIP: Do not wait until the deadline to make your reservation.

Hotel reservations will need to be guaranteed with a credit card; 1 night’s room and tax deposit is due at the time of booking your reservation(s). This applies to the total amount of rooms you reserve. You will be able to reserve multiple rooms at a time. When making room reservations, with more than one occupant, you will need to select the correct number of guests (Advisor and/or Keystoner per room). Note that you are only able to select 1 adult and 3 youth per room. This should be done when making the reservation on the “Number of Guests” section, on the “Check Availability” page. Please do not make more than the necessary room reservations for your group.

****Please book your rooms as needed to meet the hotel guidelines. This means that you will need to have one adult with three Keystoners in each room. However, it is the BGCA policy that no adults can stay in a room with teens. The hotel will try to accommodate requests for rooms to be near and/or on the same floor with the following options: by calling in your reservation or when you check-in. Upon arrival, you are able to adjust the room arrangements as needed. Please note that no teen can check into their hotel rooms; only chaperones are able to check into the rooms upon arrival.  Per Keystone Conference tradition, we will continue to monitor the hallways until all of our Keystoners are asleep to ensure that we are providing the highest level of safety to the benefit of all of our teens and our partnership with the hotel.
