We want everyone to be comfortable, so participants may wear casual attire Monday through Thursday. Friday is our graduation day when supervisors/managers can attend the graduation lunch, so we ask that participants wear business attire on that day.

Unless you are staying at the hotel, you cannot use the gym/sauna etc. The hotel allows the program participants to use the restrooms in the locker rooms, but only hotel guests have the privilege of using the other facilities in the hotel.
