The admission fee is: $330. The Banff School has reasonable accommodation rates and a meal package that makes it easier to work on your projects. It's a good, long walk into town down Tunnel Mountain, or a short drive, if you rent a car. The instructors are well known in their fields.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-21800141741807951992008-07-26T23:31:00.000-04:002008-07-26T23:31:00.000-04:00I'd like to go to a writer's retreat there.
