Codans About Town Activities
Update this page with content relevant to your event.
Exploring a new city together is all part of the Codathon 2024 experience!
Codathon 2024
On Tuesday afternoon, we’ll gather in small(ish) groups and venture throughout Downtown San Antonio and the surrounding area for some fun! We’ve planned a delightful menu of experiences, from sightseeing to museums.
🧡 Choose the activity you’d most like to do below. Follow your heart’s desire with your choice and spend time with other Codans who share similar interests. This is a great time to make new friends. If you’d prefer to take this time to rest, please do. We invite you do what feels good for you.
🚶♀️ Most activities are within a short walk of the hotel! After the activities, we’ll have a little bit of downtime and reconvene for a dinner and celebration close to our hotel.
📆 Make your selection by Wednesday, Sep 6th. Some activities have limited space, so act fast! If it’s greyed out, we’ve hit capacity. Those who don’t select risk missing out on their top choice. We know FOMO is real, but please select only one activity (hopefully our formulas keep you from picking more).
✋ Volunteers needed! Love hosting? While most options are guided experiences with local outfits, we need at least one Codan to be the point of contact for the group ahead of time and on the day of the event. We’ll take care of setting everything up, you’ll be the go-to for the group. Push the button “I volunteer to lead this group”.
❓ How did we decide on these? We’ve carefully curated a range of options based on our location, the window of availability, suggestions from our call for participation, and an attempt to a variety of activity levels for all preferences. We hope you find something you can enjoy!
Huge thanks to Alice for doc-building support!
