Projects vary in difficulty and in accommodations (ranging from primitive tents to cabins), and participants are required to bring their own camping supplies. The host organization provides food and most offer transportation from the nearest airport. For the first trip within a calendar year, non-members pay $275 and members pay $245. Each additional trip within that year is $175.
