Registration Fees

Where does my money go?

Being a residential camp, the largest percentage (53%) of fees go to cover food and accommodation costs. For an in-town weekend, you would pay accommodation and restaurant costs separately yourself. As we are purchasing in bulk, food and accommodation costs less for a camp.

Sliding Scale: Pay-What-You-Can

Chehalis is committed to giving dancers the opportunity to experience first class callers and musicians regardless of their financial situation.

The break even cost for those staying in the lodges is $425 CAD. If you wish to save some money, staying in the Hemlock cabins has a break even cost of $375 CAD. Please note that the washrooms for the cabins are in a separate building central to the cabins.

CDSS Members

CDSS Members save $5 - please deduct from your camp fee when sending payment.

Donations

We welcome donations of any amount to help offset the discount from break-even cost at the lowest end of the sliding scale. Simply write the donation amount on the registration form, and include it with your registration. Thank you!
