“• I’ll lead you through new student orientation (don’t worry we’ll get to the fun stuff fast).

• Enter Beast’s totally gnarly lab! It’s like a science playground where you’ll be able to power-up with mutant energy elixirs.

• Take a class in the Danger Room, where some of our combat professors will teach you how to improve your fighting skills—you never know when you’ll have to fend off The Hellfire Club!

• Head to the War Room to try on Cerebro, and find out your mutant superpower. Maybe you’ll be an Omega level mutant like Storm!

• Before you leave, we’ll debrief you on your new powers AND you can snag your official diploma and class photo.”

Overnight guests will have a “multi-hour tour hosted by a team of actors portraying X-Men in training, including some unique cocktail-making in Beast’s lab, and combat training from a stunt man in the danger room. Each of the bedrooms is themed to different X-Men, with little details true to the character.

It really is a fun idea!

• Homebody: Pack lunches for a picnic experience on the lawn. Heard it’s charming, but I wouldn’t know.

• Adventurer: Head out for wilderness excursions while the sun’s up.

• Stargazer: Gather on the lawn to explore the night sky. This was one of Ellie’s favorite things to do.

• Sleepyhead: Reflect on your adventures and catch some shut-eye before your morning excursion.
