a large group of people gather for the CCBB retreat in a large bright and airy room

2023 Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Retreat

Welcome to the 2023 CCBB Retreat!

The CCBB Retreat will take place on Saturday, October 28 at 8:30 am and wrap up at 3:00 pm so retreat participants can also enjoy Bradford Woods in Martinsville, IN.

The family program on Saturday includes two outdoor programs for kids six years and older, led by Bradford Woods instructors. These learning modules include outdoor living skills (shelter building) and a ropes challenge course. Archery, zipline and canoeing are available for children eight years and older. Children younger than eight may participate in canoeing if one of the life jackets fit. Hiking trails are also available for all levels.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Kelly Snyder (kgsnyder@iu.edu) or Jill Reiter (jireiter@iu.edu).
