“Crafting Lasting Legacies Through Interpretation”
September 12-15, 2016
Cuivre River State Park – Troy, Missouri
Mark your calendars for the 2016 AMI workshop at beautiful Cuivre River State Park in Troy, Missouri! This year’s conference will take place at the historic Camp Sherwood CCC group camp. Hosting our workshop at a group camp keeps our costs low and means FREE lodging for YOU! The committee is busy planning some amazing field sessions in the northeast Missouri region. Be thinking of a session that you could present to fit our theme. More information and a call for papers will come out very soon.
Lodging
Free lodging will be available in Camp Sherwood. Camp Sherwood is divided into 4 “villages”, each with cabins that sleep up to 6 people. Each village features a restroom/shower house. Participants will need to bring their own bedding and towels. To view photos of Camp Sherwood, visit the album on the park’s Facebook page.
If a participant wishes to stay in a hotel room in Troy, the Super 8 hotel is conveniently located by Highway 61 and rates run about $108/night.
