Accommodations include a large beachfront lodge with a commercial kitchen and smaller rustic cabins with bunk beds.  Most of the cabins are an uphill hike from the lodge. Families bring their own bedding.

Due to the size of the event, families usually need to share cabins.  Tenting is an option, if you prefer your privacy.  There are flush toilets and hot showers located near the lodge.

The price, $195 per person (Early Bird Registration $175 per person before July 1, 2010), $95 children ages 2-4, and babes 0-1 years old are free, includes the stay at the camp and vegetarian meals (breakfast and dinner).  Families bring their own lunch and snack fixings.  To encourage an atmosphere of cooperation and to keep the price down, everyone participates in presenting activities and workshops for each other, cooking, cleaning up after meals, and cleaning the site at the end of camp.

Deposit, Late Fee & Refund Policy: A $50 per person NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required.  If you cancel your registration before August 25th, you will be refunded all but $50 per person.  After August 25th, there will be no refunds. A late fee of $50 per family will be assessed for payments (including balance payments) received after August 25th.
