How We Share in Paying for Our Space and Food
We offer a sliding scale payment system, asking that each contribute as they are able. In the seven years of Village Fire we have been able to pay our bills in this collective fashion. Let's do it again!
The choices below can be a little confusing. Why do we do it this way? It's because our camp can only flourish when all ages and stages are present. We don't want money to stand in the way of anyone's coming, and we know that there are some with more money to share, who are willing to help balance things out for the whole. Thank you for taking the time to figure out what part in this picture you play, for all parts are treasured at Village Fire.
We will share 15 meals together, from Monday supper through Saturday lunch. Those who can join us for at least 12 of those meal times (whether or not you have a personal need to bring your own food) are considered full-time campers. Those whose schedule only allows them to join in the community for less than 12 of the meal times will register as part-time and use the daily payment scale below. We've designated 50 spots for part-time campers, and registration is open to everyone on the same day this year!
Why count by meals? Meals together are our touchstone, our breathing time. We value that time together. And, we pay per plate for the high-quality meals that Ruthie prepares for us. We need to have an accurate count so that we can plan and pay for the meals fairly.
