About this adventure

Elf Training Academy is a hands-on holiday craft stop in Gaylord Rockies' Mistletoe Village, running through the whole Christmas at Gaylord Rockies season from November 20 to January 3. Children join 'Santa's staff' in the Elf Workshop, learn the secrets of becoming one of Santa's helpers from the resort's toymakers and make a keepsake gift to keep or give to someone on their list. Sessions are ticketed by arrival time and the resort asks families to keep their visit to about 30 minutes so others get a turn. The fee is per craft kit rather than per person, so siblings can share a kit or each make their own. Children 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. It pairs well with Photos with Santa, which is also in Mistletoe Village.
