Budgeting
We heard you in your survey answers: let's make this a quality event without stretching the dollar too far.
Deposits
To ensure commitment, confirm numbers and to ensure there are funds available to secure venues we will be collecting deposits.
What is the time frame for deposits?
We will collect an initial deposit of $100 from each registrant by Monday November 3rd.
Final payments will be needed by Monday February 2nd.
How will our money be used?
The costs for hosting an event like this can be higher when shared by a small group. But we're trying to be very responsible with your funds.
The majority of our investment will go towards coaching. Travel and lodging reimbursement for Andrew, along with 8 hours of coaching is roughly 80% of our budget.
We've scoped out cost effective community options for venue locations that can still meet our needs.
Our goal is to keep individual investment to $275.
What is the refund policy?
If it turns out that the retreat cannot happen for one reason or another (for instance, if we aren't able to collect enough initial deposits to make the event seem feasible), obviously all money will be returned.
Once funds are spent to secure venues and resources in the coming months, we may be unable to provide refunds.
The final payments in February should be considered non-refundable for this reason.
What happens if there is money left over?
The goal is to budget as accurately as possible, without over budgeting or encountering cost overruns.
If we find we have a few dollars left over, we propose donating this to the WCAMS send-a-camper-to-camp fund.
How do I submit my deposit?
Jen has set up a dedicated account to hold funds for the retreat.
The account is set up for auto deposit.
Interac payments can be sent to: jenfaith@gmail.com
