Half Camp « Django In June

Half Camp

We understand that not everyone can get away for the entirety of Django Camp, so we do our best to offer the option of attending half camp to at least a few folks.

When registration opens, however, we give first priority to those who commit to being here for all of Django Camp, so we won’t know whether we can offer the half-camp option until April 1st at the earliest. If you’d like to be put on a waiting list for the half-camp option, please send Carolyn an email to that effect at djangojune15@gmail.com.

The information below is provided to give you some idea of whether the half camp option will be of interest to you…

The two broad options are:

First-Half Attendance: arrive Tuesday (or even Monday if you wish) and depart Friday morning
Second-Half Attendance: arrive after 5:00 on Thursday evening and stay through Sunday morning

Either of these options includes an evening of jamming followed by two full days of Django Camp, which amounts to roughly half of the event. The biggest difference between the two halves is what you can expect in the evening. Monday through Thursday our evenings are devoted primarily to jamming and socializing. On Friday and Saturday, however, the early part of the evening is devoted to concerts featuring our guest artists.

Costs

Of the items below, the only one which is not optional is the tuition, which pays for the artists on our staff and other costs of producing the event.

Tuition: $320
Housing: $50 per night (Standard package includes 3 nights.)
Meals: $50 per full day of meals (Standard package includes 2 days of meals.)

These Variations Will Work (just ask):

If you want housing, but only for 2 nights, that’s fine. (We’ll reimburse you for the extra night included in the standard package.)
If you want to attend another full day of camp, you can do so for an additional cost of $150.
An additional full day of meals is $50.
An additional night of housing is $50.

These Variations Won’t Work (please don’t ask):

Paying less than the half camp tuition. Your arrival time is flexible, but the cost of tuition is fixed.
Purchase of partial days of meals (Very expensive and complicated. We suggest you eat in town if you don’t want the full meal plan.)

Our Cancellation Policy

For cancellations during April, there is a $200 cancellation charge. The remainder of any other payments will be refunded.
For cancellations during May, 50% of your tuition and other payments are guaranteed to be be refunded.
After June 1st, no refunds can be guaranteed.
