Schedule for Jam Haven Mexico
Here is the general plan for Jam Haven Mexico 2028 – subject to modification as best benefits our group!
- The cost for some of the meals (those that we eat out) depend on what you order and are not included in the Program Fee – these are noted with the ¢ symbol and can be paid directly.
Also, while breakfasts are included in with your room, the cost of lunches and dinners at Casa Angelitos is not included in the Program Fee. These are also note with a ¢ symbol, and will be added to your room account.
- Some of the activities in the schedule are open to “friends and family” (i.e. friends and family of the participants). These are marked with a FF symbol. Some of these have an additional charge for those friends … contact us if you would like to know the details.
- Events that are “in town” refer to the central part of San Miguel de Allende – a vibrant area of shops and restaurants around the central catheral. This area is a 15 minute downhill walk on cobblestone streets from Casa Angelitos, or an inexpensive taxi ride. Note that the return walk is uphill (around 250ft of elevation gain) and the taxi ride back to Casa Angelitos is also inexpensive.
See the Program page for details about course content.
