Travel
If you don't have a ride don't fret! We can help you find one and we also have limited travel scholarships available. See our travel page for more info on carpooling, travel scholarships, and directions.
Meals
We will be providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the whole convergence.
We will provide meal options for vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores, so be sure to mark
off your diet preference when you register. If you have any allergies or special dietary needs email ncc@seac.org.
Cost
It does cost money to put these events on so if you are able to pay we are asking for
a registration fee of $50 before January 1st and $75 at the door. The cost covers housing and three meals a day for the whole four days. If you really can't pay, no problem at all, simply email ncc@seac.org and request a fee waiver. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Those who can pay more to cover those in need are strongly encouraged to do so. After you register you will receive instructions for how to pay.
