FRIDAY: Arrive at Andiamo Lodge. Settle into your room and enjoy a thoughtfully curated gift bag filled with premium essentials to enhance your experience.

Gather for lunch and meet your hosts, Colleen Duffley and Steve Carpenter, along with your world-class coaches, Jenni Clark and Haley Dunn. We will provide a comprehensive briefing on the weekend's activities, safety protocols, and game-specific details. Spend the afternoon shooting and learning the sport.

Enjoy a gourmet dinner prepared by owners Colleen Duffley and her husband, Chef Steve Carpenter. Steve is a highly regarded restaurateur, and Colleen is a member of Les Dames d'Escoffier and serves on the advisory board for Culinary Hospitality at Auburn University.
