Daily Fees and Housing

 

 

HOUSING OPTIONS
We attempt to honor all requests for cabin types and occupancy. There are times when programs are heavily attended and single-occupancy cabins may not be available. Cabins are assigned on the basis of special need, party size, and cabin type requested. Although we make a sincere attempt, we may not always be able to accommodate your first request.

The dining hall

VEGETARIAN MEALS The daily fees include meals. All meals are served in our dining hall and are lacto-ovo vegetarian (may include dairy or egg products).

MAKING RESERVATIONS To register for a program please complete and mail or fax the appropriate registration form (work party or regular program) to Indralaya. Please enclose a deposit of $35 per person for each program you are registering for (no deposit is needed for work-party registrations). The balance of your bill is due upon arrival. 60% of the deposit is refundable if you cancel more than two weeks prior to the program. The deposit is non refundable with less than two weeks' notice. If a program is cancelled or is already full at the time you register, your full deposit will be refunded.

PROGRAM FEES are charged for most workshops in addition to basic room-and-board fees. All visitors 18 and over will be charged the full program fee for the period of their stay whether attending all, part, or none of the scheduled program. Please see individual programs to determine the applicable fee.

FRIENDS OF INDRALAYA AND THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY MEMBERS receive a 5% discount off all program and lodging costs.

SALES TAX Due to our status as a nonprofit retreat center in the State of Washington, Indralaya is not required to collect sales tax (currently 7.7% in San Juan County). The sales-tax exemption applies to all activities at the camp, including bookstore purchases.

CANADIAN FUNDS will be accepted at an exchange rate equivalent to that available at local financial institutions. For the best exchange rate, we recommend using either a Visa or MasterCard or a bank check drawn in US funds.

FEE REDUCTION AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE It is important to us that no one feel unable to attend a program due to financial circumstances. People with limited financial means can reduce the cost of attending a program at Indralaya by helping on daily staff. Partial scholarships are also available. Please apply for fee assistance by contacting the resident managers or registrar.

DAILY STAFF OPTIONS The successful operation of our programs relies on volunteer support and guest staffing. Daily staff positions are available at all of our regular programs. Program participants age 13 and older are welcome to apply for daily staff. These positions provide a $30 per day discount, involve 3 to 3.5 hours of work each day, and may also include a regular after-meal cleanup assignment.

People on daily staff will be asked to help out where they are most needed. You may find yourself in the kitchen, in the garden, or on bathroom cleanup detail, for example. While we do all we can to avoid conflicts between being on daily staff and fully participating in the program, this is not always possible, particularly for those who are helping in the kitchen.

If you would like to help on daily staff, please complete and send the application form along with the program registration form for the programs(s) you are interested in attending.

FELLOWSHIP STAFF If you would like to pursue a deeper and more intensive commitment to Indralaya, consider applying for a fellowship position. These positions require a minimum commitment of two consecutive weeks. Fellowship staff may be assigned to a wide array of duties, which might include cooking, gardening, maintenance, cleaning, transportation, or office work. We are looking for people who are interested in working in a community dedicated to a theosophical way of life. Fellowship staff work approximately4.5 to 5 hours a day with one full day off each week. In return, Camp Indralaya provides food, housing, and everlasting gratitude in addition to waiving all program expenses. The cooperative spirit and talents of the fellowship staff are essential in making the ideals of Indralaya a reality. If you are interested, please contact us to request an application form. Individuals must be age 18 or older to be eligible for a fellowship position.

PERSONAL RETREATS Members of the Friends of Indralaya, Theosophical Society members, and individuals who have previously participated in a camp activity and are in harmony with the ideals of Indralaya are eligible to stay at Indralaya for a personal retreat when there is no other program activity scheduled and weather permits. Personal retreat visits need to be scheduled and pre-approved by the resident managers. The basic structure of the personal retreat is as follows:

  1. The personal retreat fee is $25 per person per night.
  2. People on personal retreat are responsible for supplying their own vegetarian food, transportation, bedding, and other supplies. Meals are prepared in the retreatant's cabin. See Daily Camp Life for more information.
  3. Retreatants are asked to contribute two hours of work to Indralaya for every night they are in camp. There is an additional charge of $20 per person per night for those choosing not to perform the two hours of work.
