The cost is equivalent to the Jefferson County, West Virginia, per diem rate. Children (age 2-12) pay 50% of this rate and adults and teenagers pay 75%.

The NCTC lodges are completely smoke-free. NCTC is committed to providing its guests with a smoke-free room. 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.
