Our Experience Has Taught Us...
Tips From Fellowship of the Spirit Veterans

Folks who have been to the conference thought some of these tips might be helpful to you:

Arrive on Thursday.
You'll really want to be there when the fun starts. This is a four-day conference—a day longer than most. The program kicks off at 3:00 PM Thursday, with a First Step workshop, and never lets up. By Friday night, half of the workshops are history!

Fly to where?
The largest major airport in the region is Denver International, 102 miles east of Copper mountain. Major carrier commercial air service is also available at Eagle County Airport, 55 miles west of Copper Mountain

After the flight, then what?
You will need transportation to Copper Mountain. Visit the FOTS Local Information page for transportation options.

And if I'm driving?
The drive to the conference site from Denver takes about 2 hours, not counting airport time for luggage, getting to transportation, etc. And, if you haven't been to Denver International Airport, it is very large, so allow plenty of time there.

Sunday traffic can be very slow.
Lots of people love the Colorado mountains—and prove it every weekend. Your trip back to Denver can be an hour or more longer than your trip to Copper Mountain. You may want to schedule an evening flight for your return. Some people just stay an extra day and return on Monday.

Book your lodging early to assure getting the accomodations you desire. Visit the FOTS Lodging page for more info.

Plan for the potluck.
See the FOTS page on Food at the Conference for details. Many people bring the makings for their favorite recipes, or for hometown regional cuisine. We've had salmon from Seattle, and Cajun cookin' from Louisiana. We can't wait to sample your culinary creation. Of course, you can always shop at Copper Mountain, too.
