Program Policies
Special Education Tracks
The Education Circle may propose special education tracks for a program, but the program director has the final say whether to accept a special track.
Paying Presenters for Special Education Tracks at Shehaqua Programs
We can offer professional speakers free camp. Participants will have to pay a fee in addition to the regular camp fee to be able to attend professional presentations by a paid speaker. The speaker's payments will be funded exclusively from this surcharge. Any exceptions to this rule would need to be discussed with the Council and require a 2-month advance notice to the Council.
Meals and Lodging for Guests/Unregistered Visitors
Meal Fees for Drop-in Guests for Family Camp in Summer
The meal fee for visitors at our programs is $7 per meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). Rather than having the registrar collect this fee from visitors as we have done until now, we will encourage visitors to leave this fee in a donation box, as a suggested donation of $7.
Meal Fees for Drop-in Guests for Spring Gathering and Fall Festival
The $7 per meal fee does not apply for the Spring Gathering and Fall Festival. Instead we have these "day pass" fees in effect, which include meal and activities:
- $25 early bird from after lunch till end of day / $30 late fee
- $30 / $35 if lunch is included
Free Meal for Visiting Presenter
A free meal can be offered to any speaker and their spouse and children under 21 if they visit for the sole reason of giving a presentation and are not otherwise compensated. Whoever invites the presenters and offers the free meal will need to inform the registrar about this arrangement. The meal expense will be charged to the education circle budget.
