Arrival / Event / Departure
Schedule
Arrive: Anytime after 4pm on Friday June 20, 2008: Set up camp/meet
other participants.
GingerRoot and its first activities officially begin with a program
at 7pm Friday.
The last GingerRoot activity will end by 1pm Monday, June 25th.
Fees: $290 (in US dollars) for the full
4 day event. See discounts and childrens fees below.
In addition to the GingerRoot registration fee, Riversong Sanctuary
requires $40 per person or $60 per family for the use of their land,
kitchen rental, and bathroom facilities for the duration of the
event. This drops to $10/person for the person/couple that rents the
"Bird's Nest". See below under "Camping & Other Options".
Carpooling Contribution: Currently
estimated to be $6/person depending on the current price for gas. So
in addition to the entrance fee, you will be asked to contribute a
car pooling fee. We will be traveling to a variety of habitats over
the four days of the event. Since we do not have busses or vans, some
participants who have space in their cars will volunteer their
vehical for use in car pooling. Based on current prices, the fuel
required for traveling for the Rendezvous costs about $24 per car.
Participants will be asked to contribute their fair share of that
amount to the driver when they get here.
Camping & Other Options:
If you stay on the grounds you have four options. These are included
in Riversong's land use fee above.
1. Camping with a tent.
2. Car Camping. (Some options are available near the
camping area)
3. Staying in an RV (There are no hook ups - you will
have to park a short distance from the rest of us)
4. Riversong offers one small clean modern minimalist
room called the "Bird's Nest" with a very comfortable queen bed and
small dresser for $120 for the duration of the GingerRoot. This is a
first come first serve commodity and can accommodate 1 - 2 persons.
