Registration Fee for 2026 is $320.00

This includes 2 nights double occupancy lodging with bedding, all meals (5), two classes with an option for a third, and the wonderful setting of Mt. Carmel!

Registration will open July 11, 2026.

Two class periods are included in the cost of registration. A class period is one Friday afternoon, one Saturday morning, and one Saturday afternoon. If a class offered covers two periods, for example a Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon, that would be the allowed two class selections you can choose and cannot be separated. At registration, please note they are listed as Part 1 and Part 2; if you sign up for part 1, please sign up for part 2 and not another class.

This year you will have the opportunity to select an alternate class choice for each period. If any of your class selections are full at the time of your registration, this will be your second choice and you will be moved into that class. The Class Coordinator will contact you that this occurred.

You can also sign up for a third WAIT LIST CLASS! So if you have signed up for 2 class periods and would like to take a third, you can sign up for a one period class on a wait list. If the class you selected as your third option does not fill up to the max class number, or if there is a cancellation, the instructor will be notified and you will hear from the instructor like any other class. You may not select WAIT LIST for a 2 period class. Please see the “Wait List” option at Registration.

The Registration Process is based on first come, first served. Once Registration opens, the submission spreadsheet is downloaded continually and kept IN THE ORDER OF SUBMISSION even with a timestamp of when received. We cannot control outside circumstances of the internet. Registrants are then put into their selected classes IN THE ORDER OF SUBMISSION. The class coordinator will contact you with any alternate selections and with your final registered classes and the instructor will contact you about two weeks prior to the event.

If there is a class material cost, you will pay that directly to the instructor(s) at class time; do not include with the registration payment.

If you received a certificate award for Show and Share or as a Prize Drawing, please deduct that amount from your total and make a remark that you have done so.

If you have selected single occupancy lodging, there is an additional $40.00 for the two night stay (see Lodging page). Please include that amount in your registration payment. Please double check the lodging page for availability. If someone has selected a room/cabin and waiting for roommate to register, it will be noted “Reserved”. That means the lodging is NOT AVAILABLE unless you are that roommate!! It still needs to be a selection for the roommate(s). Please coordinate with your prospective roommates. If they do not register, you may have to be moved but we will contact you.

We reserve the right to contact you for any discrepancies or changes to your registration.
