The 2012 Bear River Conference Registration and wait list are now closed.  Please watch for new information on our website in January 2013.

Thank you.
The Bear River Staff 

Conference Workshops offers information about our workshop titles and the workshop faculty who lead them.  You can click on the workshop leader’s photo or the text next to it to find each workshop description, the biography of the workshop leader, and internet links to their works and activities.

Because some workshops fill up quickly, we have you choose three possible workshop leaders.  (You will work with one leader throughout the conference.)  Please make note of the three choices you have made for your workshop leader as you will need those to fill our your registration form.

Registration will include several steps. 

When you go the registration area, you will select a lodging option and then fill out your registration form including three workshop choices.  You will be required to pay your $150 deposit to complete your registration, either by check or credit card.   (Full payments may not be made at this time.  Final payments will be made in a separate step in the registration process.)  

After you have registered and paid your $150 deposit, you will receive an email confirmation.  After staff has reviewed your registration, you will receive another email giving you the steps to make your final payment.
