Actually the price is quite a value. The price include breakfast, lunch, and dinner for five days, all sports activities, all classes and competitions, lodging in college dorms (probably two persons to a room).

 

What about early registration?

Early registration is our goal. If we can achieve it, that is good. Early registration requires a non-refundable $50 deposit. West End will begin early sign up and taking early registration fees beginning in mid-February. We encourage everyone to sign up and commit now.
