A Resort-Style Adventure on Native Land
This year, we’ve traded the usual big-city experience for a beautiful southwest oasis. When you are not learning, discovering new technology, or connecting with new and old friends, explore the rich indigenous culture of the Gila River Indian community, enjoy relaxing and indulgent spa experiences, tee off on two championship golf courses, and enjoy authentic Native American cuisine at KAI, the only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star restaurant in Arizona. See more details below and start planning your trip to the Valley of the Sun today!
There’s something for every member of the family to enjoy. Splash around in one of the four pools with waterfalls and a 111-foot waterslide. Discover horseback riding at the Koli Equestrian Center with lessons, trail rides, and outdoor events. For the younger guests, the Sheraton Adventure Club offers daily activities including exclusive Native American cultural programming. Or adventure by water and rent paddleboards, kayaks, and river boats to navigate the sprawling re-creation of the Gila River and view the gorgeous surrounding desert scenery.
Early bird registration is now open, with the lowest rates available. If you are a U.S. military veteran and this is your first HLAA Convention, please email us for a special registration rate at: convention@hearingloss.org.
