Costs and Payment

Registration costs include:

• A bed in a shared room.  Camping reduces your cost by 20$/night.

  • If camping, please indicate that choice on the registration form.  If you choose camping on the form and then change your mind before (let us know as soon as possible) or decide to crash indoors at the last minutes to escape weather, etc, know that there might not be spare beds for last minute changes and you’ll need to pay the cost difference. 

• Delicious vegetarian meals with an option for some meals with tuna

  • Blankets and pillow if staying in the Mansion. Sheets and towels are available for a laundry fee of $5 per person.

Kids are welcome!

• Kids 0-5 are free; kids 6-11 get 50% off the registration fee.

We welcome kids but those bringing them must be responsible for their supervision.

Work Trade

• Work trade pays $25/hour and entails working in the kitchen for meal prep/clean-up.  Work trade hours occur during times when we are jamming.  Please contact the work trade organizer as soon as possible if interested, as these spots fill quickly. Work trade signup deadline: April 26, 2026

Cost Schedule

The total cost depends on your dates of attendance, when you register (before or after the Early Bird deadline), if you are tenting or sleeping in the mansion, and if you choose work trade.

We encourage attending the full 5 days, especially first timers. Experiencing the full jam allows you to participate more fully in creating a deeply connected, enriching space. 

We have a limited number of $100 stipends available for those in need. Contact the jam registrar (see below) to ask about it.

Early Bird registration fees:

1. $570 - 4 nights (Full Jam)
   Arrive Wednesday before dinner and depart Sunday after lunch

2. $485 - 3 nights
   Arrive Wednesday after lunch and depart Saturday after lunch or arrive Thursday after lunch and depart Sunday after lunch

3. $355 - 2 nights
   Arrive Thursday after lunch and depart Saturday after lunch or arrive Friday after lunch and depart Sunday after lunch.

• Registration must be for contiguous days – you can't skip days

• For those who are unable to attend the full jam, we do have options for later arrival or Saturday departure. 

• Arrival for any day starts after lunch. If you want to arrive earlier that day you need to bring your own lunch or check the box on the registration form to have lunch provided by Claymont.

Late Registration fees:  Add $50 to your total due
