Registration FAQs

If the Registration Page left you wondering, here are answers:

How much does YTS cost? When do I need to pay?

It's been three years since we've run an in-person event, and in that time, we've had to change venues and inflation has driven a lot of costs up. The actual per-person cost of running this year's event is around $220/person, which we realize is a big jump from the cost at our 2020 ticket price. We encourage you to apply for a scholarship if cost is a barrier; and if you are feeling financially flush, we will have options at registration to contribute to the scholarship fund and help make our event accessible to everyone. The pricing structure is as follows:

At Cost Ticket: $220
Generous Ticket: $275
Superhero Ticket: $330
Teen Ticket (Ages 12-17): $165
Child Ticket (Ages 7-11): $110
Very Small Kid Ticket (Ages 3-6): $55
Baby/Toddler (Ages 0-2): Free

The scholarships we are offering will be discounts of $55, $110, or $165 off the ticket price for your age bracket. We are also offering travel grants this year! Please see the registration form for more information.

Once you register, you'll receive an email confirming your registration. After we run the registration lottery in mid-January, if we can offer you a spot at YTS we will contact you to let you know including information on how to confirm and pay for your spot at YTS, and how to pre-order T-shirts!

What if I am a chaperone for someone under 18?

​We encourage children to attend! Attendees under the age of 13 must have supervision of an adult chaperone. When you register, list the adult and child together in the “Who’s Coming With You?” section. Please contact registration@youthtradsong.org if you have questions about registering your family. Adults can serve as chaperone for more than one child, though each child needs a named chaperone. Children aged 13 and up do not need a chaperone. ​

What's the deal with t-shirts?

We offer boxy-cut and curvy-cut t-shirts for advance purchase only. 

All proceeds from merchandise sales go towards scholarships and travel grants for future YTS events. The shirts are 100% cotton Bella Canvas for all sizes. Boxy cut (sometimes called “unisex”) shirts are available in youth and adult sizes; curvy cut (sometimes called “girly” or “ladies”) shirts are available in adult sizes.  See the latest design on the registration page.

Housing at Ashokan

Housing at Ashokan is similar to the previous setup at Camp Becket-Chimney Corners, with some variation. Most folks will be staying in The Longhouse, which is made up of four big dorms (12 bunks each with an attached small room, so holding about 27 people total.) The remaining folks will stay in buildings with smaller rooms (2 bunks each.) Please include any housing needs you may have on our registration form, so we can ensure that you get what you need (including a bottom bunk, wheelchair/scooter-accessible room, or proximity to a power outlet for CPAP or other assistive devices.)
