The cost this year for students remains the same as last year...$99. You will need to complete a Cool Spring medical form if you don't have one on file in 2011. We will have tables set up in the Welcome Center beginning Sunday, September 18, for you to register on Sunday or Wednesday.

Please return the completed registration form, payment of $99, and the Cool Spring medical form, if not already on file, by September 28 to reserve your spot. Register early as space is limited!
