Information About Fees and Estimated Program Costs


THE FEES BELOW ARE PROJECTED FEES FOR 2010 PROGRAMS. FEES FOR 2010 PROGRAMS WILL BE SET IN JANUARY 2010

Fees updated January 25, 2010


Fees and other program costs for the CISV Seminar Camp Program are kept at a reasonable level because CISV is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization. Costs are divided into three categories: (1) Program Participation Fee, (2) Traveling Expenses, and (3) Incidentals. The Participation Fee covers the operation of the local Chapter as well as program administration and communications through the National and International Associations of CISV. Traveling Expenses are estimated in order to provide a realistic overview of your total financial obligation. Incidentals are for miscellaneous items. The following cost estimates include all major known expenses associated with the Seminar Camp program. Limited Scholarship assistance may be available based on need. For more information regarding scholarships and eligibility, see Chapter Information/ Scholorship section of the website.


  1. Participation Fee for the Seminar Camp Program is payable in full at the time of selection into the program (March 2010). The non-refundable$25 application fee is submitted with the application. Participation Fees are non-refundable once you have been selected and committed to participate.

    • Physical Examination — A required CISV form will be provided for a medical examination to be performed by a physician after selection.

    • Spending Money — The amount of spending money you carry is based on good judgment. The Chapter generally recommends no more than $250.
