Expense

The registration fee of $125 is not charged until the applicant is accepted into the program. Submissions are considered in the order they are received, and successful applicants will be billed shortly after acceptance.  Please submit your application as soon as possible.  

The registration fee is 100% refundable up to March 4, and 50% refundable up to April 4, 2025.   The 30 beds in the 10 park cottages will be provided to participants at no cost, with priority given to Auxiliarists. A request has been submitted to the Coast Guard Auxiliary Association to fund travel for Auxiliarists.  

Participants from outside the Auxiliary are responsible for their own travel, food and lodging expenses, but there is no additional program fee beyond the $125 registration and the requirement to become an ACA member ($40 annual fee, $70 for instructors).
