Entry Fees & other expenses
The all inclusive price includes all your races and training, 3 nights accommodation, all meals, and even your SI card rental. It offers a small savings and convenience compared to the a la carte pricing. Not included is a supplement for those wishing to experience the High Ropes course (or other 'for a fee' activities) at the Rocky Mountain YMCA (visit the Accommodation & camp activities page for full details of the camp activities).
The a la carte pricing allows you to chose individual items if, for some crazy reason, you won't be taking part in the full weekend of activities.

10% Procrastination Disincentive

Junior program: discounts for kids & coaches
Many clubs provide subsidies to juniors attending training camps. Check with your club's Junior Development coordinator. Adults are offered a $100 reimbursement for committing to be a junior coach on the Barebones weekend - contact FWOC Junior Program director Karin Gerritsen for details (you will still be able to run in all events).
Cancellation & Refunds
In the event you should cancel your entry, we’ll refund 90% if the cancellation is received in writing before July 30th and 75% is received before Aug 24th. No refunds will be given after Aug 24 - sorry (it’ll be spent by then).
Non-O-Club members
For insurance purposes you must be a member of a recognized provincial orienteering association (or national federation) to take part in Barebones 2007. You can purchase an AOA membership online at www.orienteeringAlberta.ca (this includes membership in FWOC also).
Groups
Groups pay one entry fee plus $3 for each extra map.
Electronic Punching
All events use electronic timing. There is a small charge of $2/event to rent SportIdent cards if you don’t have your own.
Complainer’s Fee
A complainer’s fee of $25 is payable in advance by anyone who thinks they might be whining about the courses, the map, the terrain, the weather, or anything else that will make the organizers wish they'd never bothered organizing this event. Constructive commentary, as usual, is free and welcome.
