Fees

The TAPS National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp is offered to those grieving the loss of a loved one who served in our nation's Armed Forces at minimal costs to survivors. 

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and sponsors, TAPS will provide most meals and all activities at no cost to you. You'll need to cover the cost of lodging and your transportation to and from Arlington, Virginia.

Lodging

Most events and workshops will take place at the host hotel, Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia.

At this time our room block at the Gateway Marriott is full, but we have secured a discounted rate at Hyatt Regency for $159 per night plus tax. They will accept room reservations until May 16 at the discounted rate.
