How to Register
We encourage everyone to register online, as you will get immediate confirmation of which classes or workshop you are registered for. You may also mail your registration form. All mailed registrations that arrive in the registrar’s mailbox before Sunday, November 1st will have the same priority as November 1st online registrations. After that, mailed registrations will be added on the day they are received. You are urged to check the CNCH website for class availability, but be aware that website updates may run slightly behind.
Please have all of your workshop and class selections ready before you get started. The registration process will only contain workshop and class titles. If you haven’t made your selections yet, please review the registration booklet and fill out the registration form before you get started.
Once you have made your selections, you can register online at our registration site.
