Rates:

• $695 - Tuition Only*  (subject to 2018 price increases- pay early to avoid this possible increase)  $595 for Lewis & Clark students.

• $763 - Tuition plus Lunches* (for commuters. Includes all lunches plus 2 dinners on the days of the two evening sessions)
• $895 - Tuition with all Meals* and Camping (tents only, no motor homes)

*Group meals can accommodate omnivore and vegetarian diets. For vegan, gluten free, and other dietary restrictions, please plan to bring your own food to prepare. Cost for all meals covers 3 meals/day: from dinner 1/3/18 through breakfast 1/13/18.  Camping is $7/night for 10 nights, starting the night of 1/3/2018.

The camp kitchen is very small and can only accommodate the meal plan program.  If you bring your own food, be sure to bring your own camp stove and ice chest, with ice.  You can re-freeze ice packs for your ice chest in the camp’s kitchen freezer, but the camp’s stove and refrigerator is too small to handle anything except the meal plan food.

You can register by phone or email.   Before Nov. 3, a $100 deposit will hold your place in the course.  Payment in full is due at the time of registration after November 3.

Location Details

The course will take place at Camp Joy (part of Kelly Park) in Apopka, a NW suburb of Orlando, Florida. It is possibly the most scenic sub-tropical area to get your Wilderness First Responder certification in January! (did we mention it is usually warm, too?) Camp Joy is on 59 acres of palm, pine, and live oak forest with miles of trails and 70 F. water in crystal-clear Rock Springs Run (a major tributary of the Wekiva National Wild & Scenic River) flowing next to our site. Kelly Park adjoins this camp, and adds another 245 acres of protected public land.

Snorkel or swim in the turquoise waters of this first magnitude spring over the lunch break, and hike the trails before or after class each day!

Camping is allowed ONLY in tents at Camp Joy. Camping opens the afternoon of Jan. 3 (Wed.) and ends on Jan. 13 (Sat.). No pets or alcohol are allowed, but there is a pub about half a mile away for those of legal age. Motorhomes or camper trailers can reserve a site a Kelly County Park next door, but you must do this with Kelly Park directly, and the overnight camping fee is higher than tents at Camp Joy.

Verizon and most major cell phone carriers can find limited cell reception at Camp Joy, but there is no internet access. (You may want to set up a internet hotspot on your smartphone.)  If there is demand, we plan to run a shuttle to the nearby Publix Supermarket or McDonalds to access the internet some evenings.
