Gathering Fees

On This Page

Fees Described

Every full-time and half-Gathering attender pays three fees:

  • a Program Fee
  • a Lodging and Campus Fee
  • a Meal Plan Fee

Part-time attenders pay a daily program fee and can purchase meals on site. On campus housing is not available to Part-timers but is available to half-Gathering registrants.

Children on the floor must bring their bedroll, pillow, and towel.

Attenders may choose to purchase other items: early arrival rooms, shuttle tickets, t-shirts, and an attenders directory. Fees for these additional purchases will be posted by April, 2013.

Financial aid is available. Learn more.

"Family" Program Fee: It's Not What You Think!

The "Family" Program fee is limited to members of families that meet all of these criteria.

  • three or more registrants consisting of:
    • one or two adults (if family includes three adults, one must register as an Individual).
    • and related children in the high school program or younger.

See examples and read more about the Family Program Fee.

If there are only two people in your family, it is much cheaper to register as two individuals than to use the "Family" Program Fee.
