Identification Badges

Identification badges are provided for each guest at check-in. To ensure the safety and security of NCTC guests and staff, name badges must be worn at all times while on the NCTC campus. Please return your name badge to the Front Desk or Commons dining room for re-use at check-out.

Sustainability

Green Meetings

The Green Meetings Questionnaire was first addressed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) who rents conferencing and lodge rooms at the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) and whose mission is to protect human health and the environment. The NCTC has the same environmental outreach so has adopted the Questionnaire to share with all public, staff, and guests. The expectation is that all meetings and conferences will be staged using as many environmentally preferable measures as possible. Environmentally preferable means products or services that have a lesser or reduced effect on the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose.

Federally Approved

NCTC is a Federally approved conference and training center and is listed in the Federal Meeting Space directory.

Guest Attire

Guest attire is 'business casual' in NCTC classes and programs. For specialized activities or recreation, please dress appropriately.

There is a $250 fee assessed for guests who do not comply with this policy in order to cover the extensive cost of restoring lodge rooms to smoke-free condition. For convenience, there are designated smoking areas at the entrance to each lodge building. Thank you for keeping our lodge rooms smoke-free.
