Commuters

Friends may choose to make their own off-site housing arrangements for the Gathering.  All of these Friends are considered commuters, whether they are camping in a park campground, staying at a hotel, or commuting from home. They may register for the full Gathering, for a half-Gathering, or as part-time registrants on a per day basis.

Commuter “housing” fee:  Commuters who register for the full or half-Gathering must choose the “Commuter” housing plan (housing fees include college campus use fees which is why there is a housing charge for commuters).

Commuter meal-plan options:  Commuters who register for the full or half-Gathering may choose a meal plan, or choose “no meal plan.”

Day Pass Registrants

Day pass registrants choose to register for one day of the Gathering. More info coming soon.

Payments and Deposits

Deposits: The minimum deposit is the Program Fee(s) for your party, due when you register. However, if you are applying for financial aid from your meeting or from FGC, a deposit is due one week after you learn of aid granted. Deposits and other payments may be made by credit/debit card, electronic check, or paper check. FGC pays twice the fees for reward cards – whenever possible, avoid Visa Signature Preferred and Mastercard World Cards.

Canadian Payments: Payments made in Canadian dollars will be credited with the prevailing exchange rate at our financial institution on the day of deposit.

Cancellation Fees
