About Cape Cod

HOUSING AND DINING: Ample lodging and restaurant choices are nearby. Choose from brand name hotels, local motels, cottages, and bed and breakfast inns in Wellfleet and nearby towns that offer our students special rates (see below). When you register for a program you will receive seasonal information on housing choices from our office so you can make your reservations.

STAYING ACTIVE: We have complementary bicyles available on a first come first serve basis so you can take advantage of the bike trail. Our students who are runners often make use of the bike trail during their lunch breaks and we have changing and shower facilities in the building to make it convenient to prepare for the afternoon sessions. Day passes to a comprehensive fitness facility just 7 minutes away can be arranged.

“I have taken a lot of courses that have filled my head with a lot of wonderful ideas. Over time my recollection wanes and the course impact diminishes. Not so with the Center. The program I participated in at the Center has changed me. I am a different and better person. I am more effective at what I do and I have greater impact on the people around me. Because of the experiential nature, I cannot forget this program, it has become part of who I am.”
