I am wondering if a reduced evening rate is available to attend the jams, concerts, and/or contradance during the Mountain Arts Gathering.
We are offering a Contradance and Concert option to individuals who are not attending the camp full-time for a fee of $10.00 per evening (space permitted, please pre-register).
The contradance will be held on Monday, July 19, from 8:00 pm until 10:00 pm, in the Saunders Sports Complex (Annex) on campus.
The staff concerts will occur on Tuesday evening (7/20) and Wednesday evening (7/21), from 8:00 pm until 10:00 pm, in the Pine Room in the student center.
Preregistration is required. Please go to the Part Time Options page for more information.
I have just learned about Mountain Arts Gathering. Is it too late to register and may I still take advantage making a deposit now and paying the balance later?
