This required fee provides for safety, shared programming, and the many elements that make the weekend feel seamless, elevated, and genuinely special.

Safety & Infrastructure Shuttle transportation throughout the canyon, lighting and technical support, production vehicles and fuel, additional crew and housing, and essential operational logistics to ensure a safe and well-supported environment.

Programming & Experiences Amazing Kids Company activities, arts & crafts, games, the Friday night welcome pizza party, DJ and karaoke, digital photo booth, guided experiences including llama hikes, and the brand new Canyon Flora & Fauna Scavenger Hunt.

Community Spaces & Comfort Expanded gathering areas including the Long House, Meadows, and Activity Yurt, along with beverages, ice, firewood, and s’mores supplies for shared campfire evenings.

Administration Insurance, accounting, and other behind-the-scenes costs required to responsibly organize and operate the weekend.
