The base fee helps cover the costs of the instructors, classrooms and other shared expenses. You then add your dorm room fee and the cost of your meals, and linens if you choose to add them, to determine your total cost.

For example, any 1 adult/youth who: (1) attends the entire weekend with a dorm stay and (2) orders all 6 meals and (3) brings their own linens
will pay $ 248.64 (if they register by May 9th) OR $273.64 (if they register after May 9th).
