Costs and Payment

Registration costs include:

• A bed in a shared room.  Camping reduces your cost by 20$/night.

  • If camping, please indicate that choice on the registration form.  If you choose camping on the form and then change your mind before (let us know as soon as possible) or decide to crash indoors at the last minutes to escape weather, etc, know that there might not be spare beds for last minute changes and you’ll need to pay the cost difference. 

• Delicious vegetarian meals with an option for some meals with tuna

  • Blankets and pillow if staying in the Mansion. Sheets and towels are available for a laundry fee of $5 per person.

Kids are welcome!

• Kids 0-5 are free; kids 6-11 get 50% off the registration fee.

We welcome kids but those bringing them must be responsible for their supervision.

Work Study

• Work study pays $25/hour and entails working in the kitchen for meal prep/clean-up.  Work study hours occur during times when we are jamming.  Please contact the work study organizer as soon as possible if interested, as these spots fill quickly. Work study signup deadline: April 22, 2025

The total cost depends on your dates of attendance, when you register (before or after the Early Bird deadline), if you are tenting or sleeping in the mansion, and if you choose work study.
