REGISTRATION

Thanks for your interest in Django in June 2026! The event will take place on the campus of Smith College June 8 – 14 this year and we look forward to sharing it with you. Let’s get you registered!

Django in June Basic Costs and Options

Your DiJ registration starts with tuition, the only mandatory item on the menu. On-campus housing and meals are recommended, but optional.

• Tuition – Early Bird: $650 (Through February 28th; after which tuition will be $700.) This covers access to all classes and jams from Tuesday night through Sunday morning. It does NOT include Tuesday Special Workshops or the concerts.
• Housing / Commuter Fee – Smith College’s ongoing transition to geothermal energy now allows them to offer air-conditioning in some of the dorms. We offer that option on a first-come-first-served basis. Rooms are private; bathrooms are shared.
  • Air-Conditioned Room – $350 for 5 nights; $420 for 6 nights
  • Non-Air-Conditioned Room – $260 for 5 nights; $312 for 6 nights
  • Commuters (ie., anyone not staying in the dorms) will be charged a $100 commuter fee to help cover the cost of access to the various buildings we use.
• Meals – Django in June’s on-campus meal plan is a great way to stay well-fed and well connected throughout the event. The basic meal plan starts Wednesday morning and ends with breakfast on Sunday.
  • Wednesday through Sunday Breakfast – $260
  • Tuesday through Sunday Breakfast – $320

Additional Options

“Django Camp” proper starts with orientation on Tuesday night. You are welcome to arrive on Monday or early Tuesday, however, and if you do, you’ll want to consider adding additional housing, meals and workshops to the “basics” listed above. These additional options are outlined below.

Tuesday Special Workshops

These pre-camp workshops are a great way to get the most out of your trip to Django in June. These are day-long workshops consisting of 3 sessions of 90 minutes each. The cost for each ranges from $110 to $125. You can follow this link for detailed descriptions of them. Here we’ll just list the Tuesday workshop options you’ll see on the registration form.

• Meet, Greet and Play All Day — Multiple Instructors
• Improve Your Improv — Evan Arntzen
• Tier 2 Core Repertoire Deep Dive — Jack Soref
• Tiny Bit of Tiny — Joe K Walsh
• The Violin Style of Joe Venuti — Gabe Terriaciano
• The Guitar Style of Eddie Lang — Matt Munisteri

Early Arrival Housing and Food

Early-arrivers may also need a room for Monday night or meals on Tuesday:

• Monday night housing – $70 for air-conditioned / $52 for non-air-conditioned
• Tuesday meals – $60

Friday and Saturday Night Concerts

Concert tickets are NOT part of your Django Camp registration. Ticket sales are handled by the venue, the Academy of Music . Registered Django Campers will have access to discounted concert tickets before sales open to the general public, guaranteeing early registrants the best seats in the house at the best price.  We’ll provide that early access to registered participants once arrangements with the Academy of Music have been finalized.

Half-Camp Option

Half Camp registration is an option we have always been able to offer to a limited number of participants. We give first priority, however, to those who plan to be here for the entire event, so the Half Camp option will open on April 1st at the earliest. If you’d like to be alerted when half-camp registration becomes an option, please shoot us a brief email to that effect at djangojune15@gmail.com.

Your Payment Options

Before March 31st, you have a couple of options in terms of payment:

• Full payment – Pay in full now and be done with it.
• Partial payment – Pay a $200 non-refundable deposit; your remaining balance will be due by April 30th.

Whichever option you choose, in order to lock in Early Bird tuition, some payment (partial or full) must be received by February 28th.

After March 31st, we ask that you pay in full at the time of registration.

Our Cancellation Policy

First off, let’s put this piece plainly: If we have to cancel Django in June, anything you have paid will be refunded in full. 

If the event is going on but you, for whatever reason, need to cancel your registration, here’s our cancellation policy:

• Your $200 deposit is non-refundable.
• Through March, anything you have paid beyond that $200 deposit is fully refundable.
• During the month of April, if you have paid in full, 50% of that full registration payment is refundable.
• After May 1st, we’re fully committed to Smith College and our artists. No refunds can be guaranteed.
