We're not exactly experts but it works something like this.

All of the estimated expenses for the camp such as rental of the two camps (including insurance), rental of some chairs, piano tuner, paying Debby for food and her services, etc., etc., etc. are added up. Then we guess how many people will come and for how long and calculate the fees to break even while giving an incentive for early registration. Sometimes the club makes money, sometimes not but if there's a profit, it's purely an accident.


Open Mike is right. The rules have evolved over thirty years of history and are still evolving. Charlie and his committee do the best they can and they do a helluva fine job. Remember, these are all volunteers. It's kind of like your son-in-law. It's not perfect but it's damn good.

If you don't like something, tell Charlie or bring it up at the annual club meeting at camp. It's probably been brought up before and thought through (remember, thirty years) but if it hasn't we guarantee it will be given due consideration. There are all kinds of
good reasons that would never occur to an outsider why things are done the way they are.
