Registration Fees
This year’s fee structure (above) is designed to encourage family and caregiver participation as a unit. Our hope is that families will think about the entire support structure that is in place for their child or teen as they consider who should attend the event. “Family” in this case represents the entire constellation of adults providing that support. We encourage you to consider Family Registration; rather than having to purchase an individual ticket for each adult in a child’s or teen's life, Family Registration allows you the chance to bring the various individuals (up to six people 13 and older) that are playing key support roles. Please note that Family Registration also means that beyond the first two people, any teens attending the Youth Conference will attend essentially for free. However, if only 1 adult and one or more teens are attending, purchase an individual ticket plus inividual Youth Tickets. Finally, remember that if you have children who will be attending Kids Camp, this requires purchasing Kids Camp tickets above. If you have more than one child who will be coming, be sure to use the "Additional Child(ren)" ticket option for the second and any additional kids.
