Program Cost
Besides being un-coached, Chamberre is unique in offering different lengths of stays, to best match your schedule (and endurance!). You may participate for as short as one day, or for the full length of the program.
The minimum base cost is $252, which includes three meals in a row. Skipping meals or residing offsite does not reduce your cost.
Before your first scheduled meal, you may play in both sessions, but only with people not playing in the assigned session. After your last scheduled meal, you may play in both sessions, including the assigned session.
A cost grid based on your first and last scheduled meals is shown below, to calculate the “program cost.” The cost of a private cabin with bathroom or the cost of bedding, if chosen, will be added to this. All participants, their guests, and invitees may attend the free Sunday concert and the reception afterward. Some examples follow.
Examples
Arrival for Wednesday Dinner and Departure after Friday Lunch is a program cost of $354.
Arrival for Friday Dinner and Departure after Sunday Lunch is a program cost of $354.
Arrival for Wednesday Dinner and Departure after Saturday Lunch is a program cost of $456.
Arrival for Thursday Dinner and Departure after Sunday Lunch is a program cost of $456.
Arrival for Wednesday Dinner and Departure after Sunday Dinner is a program cost of $596.
The prices calculated above include housing in dormitory-style shared cabins, with separate bathhouses for men and women.
Lodging Upgrades
There are a limited number of private cabins with bathrooms, available for an additional fee of $150 for the cabin, not per person. Preference will be given to individuals with special health needs.
Participants must bring their own bedding, towels, and toiletries. For an additional charge of $75 per person, bedding can be provided by Chamberre for use the entire session, which must be returned. It includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, one pillow, two fleece blankets, and towels.
Guests
Non-musician guests are welcome to stay at the camp with participants when space is available. Preference will be given to playing musician participants. Each guest must be registered and pay the same fees as if they were participants. Minors are the responsibility of the adult participant, and are not allowed to be unsupervised at any time while at the camp.
Non-Participant Guests at Sunday Dinner
You may bring non-participant guests to the Sunday dinner, for $32 per person. If you know how many people you will be bringing at the time you submit your application, you can indicate this on the application and have the cost included in your bill. Otherwise, you can let us know when you know and pay later. You have to let us know how many you will be bringing and pay on or before Friday, July 12, 2024.
Questions
If you have any questions or special requests, there will be an opportunity to ask them at the end of the application, or you can email Lee Smith at musicmountainman@chamberre.org.
