Pre-Conference Activity: Birch Aquarium and La Jolla Shopping
La Jolla, with the tantalizing charm of a Mediterranean Isle, unique shops and breathtaking views of the
Pacific, is a refreshing change of pace sure to delight even the most discriminating shopper and nature
lover! Upon arrival to beautiful La Jolla, you will head to the wonderful Birch Aquarium at Scripps. Situated
on a spectacular site overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this unique facility presents undersea creatures in
realistic habitats, and allows visitors to experience the frontiers of marine science through hands-on
museum exhibits. Guests will enjoy a private docent-lead tour of the Birch Aquarium to be sure to catch
the best of the wonderful and informative exhibits the aquarium has to offer.
After your visit to the Birch Aquarium, you will be able to head into downtown La Jolla for some shopping.
Upon arrival into the heart of the shopping district in La Jolla, you will have free time to explore, shop,
and relax on your own! Often referred to as the Jewel of the Pacific Coast, La Jolla Village boasts
dozens of shops, art galleries, and specialty boutiques. You will be provided with a personalized La Jolla
Familiarization Map – complete with the “must sees” of the area. Your map will include all of the popular
shops, galleries and eateries, allowing you to plan how to spend your time best in the Village.
Pre-Conference Activity: Sailing – Gotta Regatta
The waters of the San Diego Harbor will provide a perfect place for this Sailing Regatta! It’s all hands on
deck as each person will be fully interactive as the official “crew” of their vessel vying to push their team in
the winner’s circle. Every person will have an integral role from preparation of boat leaving and returning
to dock, hoisting sails to all basic points of sail. Guests will master their “maneuvers” with tack, gibe,
turning, braking, securing the boat and putting it “to bed.”
Each team will crew their 27’ sailing yachts with a certified captain. The teams tackle a challenging two-mile
course over a period of two hours. Captains will brief the crew on strategy, techniques and sailing instructions
before the race. The Committee Boat and official will handicap the yachts, sound the 10-minute, 5-minute, and
1-minute warnings and officiate any penalty calls. As each team’s yacht sails over the finish line, the horn will sound
and times noted - where they will be tallied to the overall score. The final winner will then be announced but all
of your guests will feel like they have won after enjoying this beautiful day in the San Diego sunshine. In the event
this activity is cancelled due to low participation, we will notify all registered attendees by August 23, 2013.
