Like a hotel, you pay for the room (so it will cost you less per person the more people you put in the room); AND you pay by person for meals and conference fees.

Please only sign up for cottages and special rooms only if you have special requirements (mobility, etc.).  

The rooms FUUSN and TPC typically reserve are in the dorms, which are further down the list (and are less expensive).

• Friday room check-in is at 4pm.
• Saturday room check-in is at 4pm, but your lunch is available at noon. Leave your stuff in your car or put it in a friends room until check-in time.

10am to be out of your room and any other indoor areas, although you have access to the outside grounds until 1pm.

Yes, you can.  That and any other changes are done by email at registration@ferrybeach.org (preferred) or call at (207) 282-4489 ext 1.

If you favor a specific dorm room you can add that request in the NOTES section of your registration. Ferry Beach will do their best to provide people with their requests on a first come first serve basis, but there is no guarantee.
