About Registration Cost Information for Conferences at Rowe Conference Center
There are two costs for each conference. One is a program cost, which is based on your income. The second is a meals and housing cost, which is based on the type of housing you choose. Please see the charts below to calculate your program cost plus your housing cost. (Some regular weekends and all longer programs have an extra charge, so please read the program descriptions carefully.)

Deposits and Refunds for Conferences
Please send a deposit of $100 per person for conferences, plus any membership or donation amounts. The balance of your fees will be due upon arrival at Rowe for the start of the conference. We accept Visa and Mastercard. If you are paying by check or money order, please mail your check to Rowe Camp & Conference Center, PO Box 273, Rowe, MA 01367.
Please note that your registration will not be confirmed until we receive your deposit. Partial refunds are available if you give notice of cancellation at least one week before a program - a $30 processing fee will be deducted. Credit vouchers are available if you cancel less than one week before an event (minus the $30 processing fee). The cancellation fee will be waived if you transfer to another program when you cancel or if you donate your deposit to Rowe as a tax-deductible contribution.
Bartering/Work-Exchange
We don't want to exclude people who have financial constraints, so we have a work-exchange program available. If you are having trouble meeting our costs, please contact us about barter opportunities, which are possible when an agreement is made in advance. You will need to pay your meals and housing fees or your deposit, whichever is greater. You can barter off your program fee. There are three general categories of work-exchange:
KP Supervision - During the workshop or camp we can use one or two people (three for longer workshops) to supervise the process of doing the dishes, cleaning up after each meal, and setting up for the next meal. You will be working approximately 6 hours (1 after each meal) and will receive a credit of $75 toward your program fee.
General Help - Come up early or stay after the program. You can do up to two days of work-exchange for a $7 per hour credit. Work may include but is not limited to housekeeping, office, and grounds work.
Other Help - If you have trade skills (carpentry, plumbing, gardening) or bodywork skills (e.g. licensed massage therapist), other options are available for bartering. Please contact us!
Group Discounts
Couples from the same household, coming to the same program get a 10% discount.
We offer a 10% discount to all members of groups of 5 or more coming to the same conference, and with enough notice we will even give you your own cabin or dorm room, so get your friends or group to join you. With groups of 6-10, the organizer of the group can come for half price. For larger groups, the organizer can come for free. Please note that these discounts are offered in part due to the savings in registering and managing a group instead of individual registrations. Therefore, all members of a group must be registered at the same time. This is typically easiest for all concerned if the information is provided in an email or fax (413-339-5728).
Frequent Fliers
Can't decide? We love people who love our programs, so if you attend four programs within a calendar year, we'll send you a gift certificate for a fifth weekend free (no barter credit or other discounts may be applied to these weekends).
