Please note: if you are registering multiple children and some of your children will not be participating in the Rigpé Yeshé Retreat and Adventure Care Program then for the purpose of calculating your fees, you should count children who are participating in both programs first.
For example: if you have two children but only one will be attending both the Rigpé Yeshé Retreat and Adventure Care Program while the other child will only be attending Rigpé Yeshé Retreat then your first child is the child attending both Rigpé Yeshé Retreat and Adventure Care Program. If you are paying the full rate your fees will be $250 for your first child and $55 for your second child, or a total of $305.00.
