Please note: as of June 2025, we have restructured Quaker Center’s program costs.
We want you to attend our programs, and we do not want program costs to stand in the way of your participation. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. We want all who are interested in attending Quaker Center programs to be able to do so.
Quaker Center programs are based on a Pay-As-Led model. This means that each person or family can determine how much they would like to pay. We hope that each person will contribute an amount they are genuinely comfortable with, and that the suggested amounts below help you to do this. It is also okay to choose an amount different from the suggested amounts below.
Children and teens may attend our weekend retreat programs with their parents or guardians for free. Older teens (18-19 year olds) are also welcome to attend for free.
Using an Annual Pass? If you are part of a Quaker Meeting community, your Meeting may have an Annual Meeting Pass that you can use. If you’re not sure, ask us.
In-person weekend retreat programs
Suggested amounts for registration fees
Supporter rate: $300-350. This part of our sliding scale covers our expenses for this retreat, and also includes some staff time and costs related to the use and maintenance of our facilities.
Standard rate: $200-250. The standard rate covers direct expenses for this retreat, such as food and lodging.
Welcome rate: $75-150. We hope that this rate encourages more people to attend Quaker Center programs.
We want you to join us. Please let us know if you have any questions about Quaker Center program costs, or if registration fees are an obstacle to your attendance.

Quaker Center will continue to offer online series programs throughout the year – check our program calendar for dates. These series offer three to six weekly sessions of 90 minutes each, exploring different aspects of a subject, one day per week across a month.
Supporter rate: $250-300.
Standard rate: $100-200.
Welcome rate: $50-75.
As with our in-person programs, we won’t turn anyone away for lack of funds. Please let us know if these costs represent an obstacle or a hardship.

At this time, our Year-End Retreat is our only five-day program. We are using a similar suggested amount scale as above.
