Travel
and Accommodations
Haven't been to Cleveland? Come
to drumFantasy.12 and, in addition to finding
the
world's best drummers (and a lot of great new friends to learn
with), you might be surprised at what you find!
The Facts
Cleveland is the 12th largest
radio/TV market and ninth largest industrial market in the
nation. The "forest city" is home to more than a dozen Fortune
500 companies, the nation's second-largest performing arts
district, the most museums per capita, and one of the nation's
best symphony orchestras.
 Downtown
Cleveland is currently undergoing an estimated $4.5 billion in
development, including new apartments/condos, redevelopment of
the famous "Flats" area, and the Euclid Corridor
transportation project, which connects downtown to Cleveland's
world-class arts institutions.
Add to that the stunning Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, great sports venues, great dining,
and tons of industrial-era character, and you have a great
host city for Drum Fantasy Camp.
The Hotel
The Hyatt Regency at the
Arcade is a stunning boutique hotel in the heart of
downtown Cleveland. It is within walking distance of the
city's best downtown attractions.
 The
hotel is part of Cleveland's colonial-era arcade, which was
completed in 1890. Touted as the nation's first shopping mall,
Hyatt refurbished the building and added a conference
facility in the late '90s - at a cost of $60 million.
The Hyatt is partnering with
drumFantasy.11 to make the experience as seamless
and satisfying as possible. The camp will be held right
downstairs in a the hotel's conference facility, giving
campers easy access to their rooms during breaks and area
restaurants and attractions during break time.
Accommodations at the
Hyatt will be made through Drum Fantasy Camp
as part of the "camp" package. Please refer to our
registration page
for details.
Getting There
Cleveland is regional hub for
Continental/United Airlines, providing plenty of
affordable and
convenient flights to the city. We recommend searching for
flights at
www.expedia.com and
www.travelocity.com .
When you arrive in Cleveland,
downtown is only a 22 minute ride away on Cleveland's RTA
light rail train. The fare is just $2.25 each way, and
we'll have a van to get you from the downtown station to the
hotel (a 30-second drive).
We'll send out an e-mail to
registered out-of-town campers a few weeks prior to the camp
with all the details on getting to the camp.
Attractions
Many of last
year's attendees enjoyed these attractions while a child or
spouse attended the camp - and many extended their trips!
If you decide to extend your
stay and want to stay at the Hyatt, let us know by writing to
questions@drumfantasycamp.com . We can arrange for you
to keep the group rate while you're there.
