In coordination with the North Star Santas.
Yes, School4Santas will be returning to Minnesota in June of 2025. The dates and the hotel location have not been finalized. I hope to announce sometime in December.
One of my firm beliefs is that Santas need to start early in the year if they want to make the best of the training they are receiving. So, getting your training done by summers-end allows you the time necessary to apply what you have learned.
As with all of our schools, this is for all Santas, Mrs. Claus and those interested in the Santa industry. Whether you are real-bearded or theatrically bearded; professional or just a volunteer, this school has something for everyone.
The 20th Anniversary course book, “Behind the Red Suit, The Business of Santa,” has some new sections and is included with all new registrations. Alumni may also order a copy of the 20th Anniversary course book at a discount.
REGISTRATION COSTS – Registration for the two-day standard school is just $319, $479 for a couple. This includes 16 hours of training, the 275+ page course book and your personalized diploma, or two diplomas for a couple. Travel, meals and lodging are not included.
Alumni Rates are just $249 per person, and $349 per couple and include the full course and diplomas, no course book.
MAKING THE MOMENT – For 2025, as I have for the past few years, this will be a two-day school. For those wanting the third day of training, “Making the Moment,” I again offer the 6-hour home study course for just $99 when ordered with to the regular school registration. This is a $20 savings over the normal price.
This will include a thumb-drive with the full 6-hours of my advanced training, “Making the Moment,” with concentration and practical application on photography, posing, special events, and advice, techniques and almost 200 photos and diagrams for the Professional Santa and Mrs. Claus. Special certificates acknowledging advanced study, are included.
