Fees Described

Every Gathering attender pays three fees: a Program Fee, a Lodging & Campus Fee, and a Meal Plan. Part-time attenders pay a daily program fee and can purchase meals at the dining hall. Attenders may choose to purchase other items: early arrival rooms, shuttle tickets, t-shirts, and an attenders directory. If you elect to bring your own linens in advance, you are eligible for a discount. Please see our late registration/cancellation policy for additional fees.

Basic Fees

“Basic Fees” assume Friends stay in double rooms without air conditioning (AC), and that children sleep on the floor if eligible. These assumptions are used to calculate our financial aid. Learn more on our financial aid page.

Payments & Deposits

Deposits: The minimum deposit is the Program Fee for your party. However, if you are applying for financial aid from your meeting or from FGC, there is a reduced, refundable deposit of $75/person. Your deposit is due when you register. Deposits and other payments received by June 24 may be made by credit/debit card, electronic check or paper check. (Paying by electronic or paper check saves the Gathering money.)

Payments at Bowling Green: The balance due must be paid in full by cash or check during check-in; credit/debit cards will not be accepted.

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