Cost Information for Conferences

There are two costs for each conference. One is a program cost, which is based on your income. The second is a meals and housing cost, which is based on the type of housing you choose. Please see the charts below to calculate your program cost plus your housing cost. (Some regular weekends and all longer programs have an extra charge, so please read the program descriptions carefully.)

Deposits & Refunds for Conferences

Please send a deposit of $100 per person for conferences, plus any membership or donation amounts. The balance of your fees will be due upon arrival at Rowe for the start of the conference. We accept Visa and Mastercard . If you are paying by check or money order, please mail your check to Rowe Camp & Conference Center, PO Box 273, Rowe, MA 01367. Please note that your registration will not be confirmed until we receive your deposit.

Partial refunds are available if you give notice of cancellation at least one week before a program - a $30 processing fee will be deducted. Credit vouchers are available if you cancel less than one week before an event (minus the $30 processing fee). The cancellation fee will be waived if you transfer to another program when you cancel.

Deposits & Refunds for Camps

A deposit of $250 for camps lasting one week or less and $500 for 2- and 3-week camps is absolutely required to hold your place. The balance of your fees will be due upon arrival at Rowe for the start of the conference. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. If you are paying by check or money order, please mail your check to Rowe Camp & Conference Center, PO Box 273, Rowe, MA 01367.

Bartering/Work-Exchange

We don't want to exclude people who have financial constraints, so we have a work-exchange program available. If you are having trouble meeting our costs, please contact us about barter opportunities, which are possible when an agreement is made in advance. There are three general categories of work-exchange:

KP Supervision - During the workshop or camp we can use one or two people (three for longer workshops) to supervise the cleanup of the dishes from each meal along with setting the tables for the following meal. This pays an equivalent of $10 per hour against the program fee only, so for a regular conference weekend with 6 meals this would be a $60 reduction in your program fee.
Changeover - For up to two days prior to or following the workshop or camp people can help us doing changeover. This pays an equivalent of $7/hour against the program fee only.
Other help - If you have trade skills (carpentry, plumbing, gardening) or bodywork skills (e.g. licensed massage therapist), other options are available for bartering. Please contact us!

Group Discounts

Couples from the same household, coming to the same program get a 10% discount. We offer a 10% discount to all members of groups of 4 or more coming to the same conference, and with enough notice we will even give you your own cabin or dorm room, so get your friends or group to join you. With groups of 5-8, the organizer of the group can come for half price. For lagre groups, the organizer can come for free. Can't decide? We love people who love our programs, so if you sign up and make deposits for four programs, we'll send you a gift certificate for a fifth weekend free.

Camp Discounts

A 10% discount is offered to families whose total 2001 Rowe Camp expenses are over $1,400. We also offer you a $25 discount for each new campter you bring to any of our adult camps!

Camperships

Each year, Rowe Camp gives out over $10,000 in partial camperships to children who otherwise would be unable to attend summer camp. In addition, campers are referred from the Big Brother/Big Sister program in Greenfield, the Greenfield Family Inn, and the Child and Family Services in Northampton. If you would like to apply for a campership for a youth camp, please register and click the Campership Aid button. Note that the deadline for applications for campership aid is April 15.

We have many needs for barter and work-exchange for adult camps, so if you'd like to lower the fee please try that route first. There are very limited funds to support attendance to the adult camps, if you're interested in applying please make a note on your registration for the camp and we'll contact you.
