REGISTRATION — Eligibility and Cost

We work to preserve this camp as a safe space for kids to explore and mature, and so we reserve the right to refuse any application. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation or identity, religious affiliation, or political beliefs.

Like last year, Mandala on the Mountain will be held amongst Camp Adams’ woods and streams. Camp Adams is about an hour from Portland, near Molalla.

The dates for 2013 are July 14-20.

Early registration closes May 1st. For the past several years, more people have wanted to attend camp than we were able to accommodate. After May 1st the prices go up, and there is no guarantee that a space will be available.

Age

Campers need to be nine years old by the time camp starts to attend camp.

Interest

Campers need to be willing to participate fully during camp. Campers do not have to be Buddhist, but do need to have an interest in Buddhism, as well as a willingness to immerse themselves, and enjoy themselves, in a Buddhist environment. This camp is geared more towards those with a demonstrated interest than to those who have never encountered Buddhism before and are just curious about doing something different. From past years, we have found it is helpful when kids have some background and familiarity with Buddhist ideas and practice.

Health

It is the parent’s responsibility to let us know if the camper has any conditions that need special attention (see Registration and Release Form). We are fairly adaptable, and camp is enjoyable for campers with a wide spectrum of athletic abilities.

Interview

We conduct interviews with potential campers who have not been to camp before. These are not scary, and are just to determine if Mandala on the Mountain is appropriate for you or your child. These may be over the phone or in person. Contact the Center to make an appointment.

Cost

The prices have changed for families who are not members of either Dharma Rain or ZCO. A $25 deposit is due with the registration, and is included in the cost.
