To help you budget for JOI, here is a list of expenses you can expect:
Breakfast food and snacks (bring your own)
Lunch on travel days: Wednesday and Sunday
Transportation to Seattle, if applicable
Transportation to the Anacortes ferry terminal and back - look for emails about carpooling from Seattle, Bellingham, Vancouver, and other places
Ferry from Anacortes to Orcas and back. Check current ferry fares here. Estimated cost roundtrip:
$55 per vehicle, including driver
$15 per passenger
Carpooling helps a lot with this cost and is fun!
The tuition you pay helps sustain the jam. As we receive deposits and full payments, this is how the money is spent:
We recover our out-of-pocket expenses: rental of the dance space, insurance, food, teacher(s), supplies, etc. This is where 90% of the money goes.
We pay camping fees for each participant. The fees help maintain the land, spa area, and gardens that we use during JOI.
We replace broken items and restock supplies for next year.
We compensate ourselves for some of the organizing hours. While it is inherently rewarding work, we juggle organizing alongside our full-time jobs, families, and other responsibilities.
We buy gifts for our business partners and volunteers who generously chip in throughout the year.
