Full tuition — Full tuition for a teen retreat is $2,250-$2,500, depending on the duration of retreat (4-5 night retreats), with scholarship options and payment plans available. Please note: a nonrefundable application fee of $35 is required upon applying. This fee will be applied toward your tuition.
Tuition support: sliding scale — We offer a sliding scale approach to retreat tuition in order to accommodate a wide range of household incomes. The payment structure is set at a 1% contribution of household income per teen per retreat, up to incomes of $149,949, with a minimum payment of $250 required. For households earning incomes $149,950 and above, tuition is the full retreat cost. Read more about our equitable tuition structure. Please use our tuition calculator below to see what your retreat tuition would be.
Tuition support: limited scholarships — Aside from the sliding scale, limited scholarship funds are available. To request a scholarship, please first apply for the retreat of your choice, and then submit your request via the scholarship form. Note: we will only process your scholarship request once we receive your complete retreat application. Have questions regarding registration? Visit our registration guide.
Tuition support: payment plans — Additionally, we can accommodate payment plans that work for you and your household. After we receive your complete application, get in touch with us to discuss a payment plan.
Deposits and payment methods — Tuition may be paid via credit card or check. A deposit of 30% of your total payment is required to reserve your space on a retreat; this deposit includes the $35 nonrefundable application fee. The balance of the retreat tuition must be paid two weeks before the retreat start date. For all tuition and scholarship questions, reach out to us at [email protected].
