Cost Schedule
Pricing for the Alumni Event
Pricing for the alumni event is based on an internal analysis of the costs associated with operating Camp Davis facilities, staff support and food costs, with modest additional overhead to provide daily cocktail hours, and several included group activities. In addition to meals and accommodation, the costs below include a trip on the Teton Tram to the top of Rendezvous Mountain with faculty geology lecture, multiple guided hike opportunities, evening lectures and campfires, professional star gazing, Granite Hot Pool and a special event and barbecue dinner in Grand Teton National Park. Other activities that may be undertaken are optional, and will be charged separately at group rates (see Activities, below). Transportation to and from the Jackson Hole area and local transportation are not included in the event pricing.
The deadline for registration is May 1, 2019. We will invoice participants for meals and lodging and would appreciate payment by check no later than June 1, 2019 to confirm your reservation.
Optional activities will be finalized in early June, after participants are confirmed. These activities will be invoiced separately and will be payable by check or credit card by July 1, 2019.
Lodging
Cabins will cost $1000 for six nights. Each cabin is insulated, has a porch or deck, electric heat w/ thermostat and en suite bathroom and shower. Staff cabins (12) have either a double bed or a twin-over-double bunk bed, a table and two chairs, a large loft (suitable for children ages 8 - 16), a small fridge, and a small shower/toilet room. Student cabins (28) have two twin bunk beds (4 single mattresses), a large bathroom, and plentiful closet and storage space. Student handicapped cabins (2) have one twin bunk bed, a large bathroom, and copious storage. You are welcome to state a preference of cabin type, and we will do our best to accommodate these requests, but reserve the option to assign cabins to best meet the needs of all participants in this event.
Meals
Meals will cost $250/person ($100/child age 12 and under). This cost will cover breakfast, lunch, a cocktail hour and dinner each full day, dinner on the arrival day, and breakfast on departure day. Breakfast and dinner will typically be served family-style in the Camp Davis dining hall, with a full range of vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-sensitive options. Lunch may be served in the dining hall or a self-pack lunch option may be provided, depending on each days' activities.

These activities will be offered based on participant interest and will be billed per person, at group rates. These activities are available a la carte and can be specified during registration, or any time up until three weeks prior to the event, or when space for the activities fills. See the schedule for planned timing of these activities and the registration form for approximate costs.
