Frequently Asked Questions PRICING: All overnight guests will select "Two-Night Registration" and pay a program fee of $105/person that covers all activities and meals (6) for the weekend. Children four (4) and under are free. Families will then choose their preferred lodging. Cabin lodging is by room (i.e. one individual's selection of Poplar Cabin in the online registration system will house a group of seven individuals in one room). If guests are registering their entire household for one room, only one person needs to select a lodging option. Note: If you are sharing a room with another registered household who has booked their lodging, there is no need to select a lodging option.
