Where is the summer school?
The abbey is called Kloster Steinfeld. It is situated in the Eifel, a very rural area of Germany about 1 hour from Cologne. https://www.icassi.net/venue-kloster-steinfeld-germany/
How do I get there?
How do I choose courses?
First consider if you are staying one or two weeks. You can choose a full-day course (only week 1) or two-half day courses per week. Please read the course descriptions thoroughly. Some courses are for professionals only others are open to all.
How can I pay?
When you register online at icassi.cventevents.com/ you can choose to pay either directly by credit card or choose offline payment. Then you can pay by check, wire transfer to our German bank account or PayPal at info.icassi@gmail.com
You will need to pay a deposit of 300€ for an individual or 550€ for a family to have your registration confirmed. Please consider our cancelation and refund policies if there are changes in your registration.
Can I book extra nights?
This year you cannot book extra nights through ICASSI. If there is capacity before or after the two weeks (not on the middle weekend) you can inquire about extra nights at the Kloster directly after May 24th. Please do not inquire at the Kloster before this date.
When should I arrive?
We highly recommend you plan sufficient time in case the trains will be delayed or canceled. Note that the German railways is facing a year with many strikes and construction sites so last minute cancelations of trains is possible. We will organize taxis waiting at Kall train station on Sunday during the registration hours. We also recommend you stay at an airport hotel if you are leaving before 2pm the day after.
Are pets allowed?
No. No pets are allowed on the grounds of Kloster Steinfeld. Also if you are staying off-site, please refrain from bringing your dog to the Kloster. No dogs will be admitted in any common area except for service dogs.
Do you have accessible rooms for disabled?
Yes, of course. Please contact the administrator for individual arrangements.
Are there facilities to prepare meals/ fridges?
No. There will be no kitchen facilities or fridges. In the New Guesthouse you will find small hotel fridges in the rooms but no large fridges.
We provide the option to book extra meals for Tuesday and Thursday nights until May 24th. Please log into your cvent account and book them there directly.
