How to pay for WWU Summer Field Camp 2007

Field camp is an expensive proposition. It is not subsidized by the State of Washington as most courses are. This makes tuition expensive. Further, it uses vans to move around the western U.S., which must be rented and filled with fuel many times. Finally, some group expenses come out of fees, when these items make sense to purchase as a group (e.g., large propane tanks, coolers, etc.)

Paying for course fees

Paying for field camp happens in two parts. The course fees (which pay for the vans, coolers, and such) must be paid first (see schedule), and this is a sort of deposit. These are currently set at $650. There are multiple ways to pay the fees, but in any case the account number must be included with the payment. We encourage you to get a special payment card from Chris Sutton in ES240 that has the number printed on it.

The $650 must be paid in two parts: an early deposit of $50 (see schedule for due date), and then a later payment of the remaining $600. If you choose not to attend, then your $50 will eventually get refunded, but not until all of the course accounting is done, sometime late in Fall quarter.
