I'm thinking about going to Autreat, but I'm not sure I can scrounge up the dough.

I've been looking all over and I still can't find anything with this year's prices.
I'm sure the deadline is approaching. How are people managing?
Also, autscape.org is not working.

The prices were posted on March the 6th on Autreat's information mailing list.

Quoting from Autreat's information mailing list:
=================================
These are the fees for people who are registering for all four days of
Autreat, including four nights' lodging in standard 2-person residence
hall rooms, and all meals from dinner Monday through lunch Friday,
registering by June 1, 2009:

Fee category A, Adults with full-time jobs: ANI members $430, non-members $450
(We realize that not all full-time jobs are high-paying. If you can't
afford this rate, add a note explaining that, and you may register at
the category B rate.)

Fee category B, Adults without full-time jobs: ANI members $375,
non-members $395

Fee category C, Youth ages 12-17: ANI members $375, non-members $395

Fee category D, Children ages 6-11: ANI members $255, non-members $275

Fee category E, Children under 6, occupying a bed in a room with one
other family member: ANI member $195, non-member $215

Fee category F, Children under 6, occupying a portable crib or cot or
other bedding brought by the family, in a room with two other family
members: ANI member $95, non-member $115

Fee category G, Adults living on disability or public assistance: ANI
member $230, non-member $250

Fee category H, Full-time support people attending to assist someone
who otherwise would not be able to attend: ANI members $210,
non-members $230 (If the person needing assistance in order to attend
is an ANI member, the support person may register at the member rate
too.)

After June 1, all those fees will increase by $10.

Also, there will be a $25 deposit for each room key issued. The
deposit will be returned if you turn in your key before you leave.


If attending days only, and not staying on campus overnight, subtract
$25 per person per day.


If making your own meal arrangements and not eating meals provided by
Autreat: Subtract $27.50 per person per day for ADULTS and YOUTH;
subtract $13.75 per person per day for CHILDREN 6-11; no fee
adjustment for children under 6. (Children under 6 are not charged for
meals in the first place.)


These rates are for lodging in the standard residence hall
accommodations: a bedroom shared by 2 people, in an apartment
containing 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge.

To have a bedroom all to yourself in one of those standard apartments,
add $25 per person per night.

To have a private bedroom that also has a private bathroom (in a
different building), add $40 per person per night.
