SHARED COSTS
Red Nose District runs on all of our directed and shared contributions each year, and now is YOUR chance to invest in our 2023 camp costs!
WHAT ARE SHARED COSTS?
RND has costs throughout the year. We pay for container rentals, liability insurance, taxes (because we’re a “business” to keep all of us from being personally liable if something were to go wrong), rentals, transportation, fuel for generators and fire art, maintenance costs for our various projects, porta potties, gray water dumps, lighting, production costs and rentals, bars, infrastructure, etc. All campers share in our Red Nose camp costs, even our organizers and leads. Red Nose District does not have paid positions, so all funds go to producing camp, or getting us ready to produce camp in the next year.
Our goal for the past couple of years has been to make camp affordable for those who want to be here, but also leave options open for those who would like to contribute more. We want camp to feel affordable for folks who want to be here, but also need to break even each year so that no one is paying out of pocket to run our camp. Some of you might notice that our base fee went up to $250 this year, which has to do with increased costs in a variety of areas (ones that are outside our control). Anyone is welcome to view the budget at any time, all you have to do is ask.
PAY WHAT YOU CAN
We are asking you to PAY WHAT YOU CAN. We will not make our budget if the entire camp pays at $250, so if you can squeak out an additional $5, $10, $15, or $50, please do. Cost brackets are as follows:
Tier One: $250
Tier Two: $300
Tier Three: $350
Tier Four: $400
Tier Five: Klown’s choice! (Any amount over $400)

High five yourself, start getting excited, and stay tuned for your Welcome Email confirmation from us with next steps!
We have immediate repayment needs (like the $8k we owe Melissa for the porta potty and grey water bill we had to pay in full to reserve our shitters, pumps, and dumps), so pretty, pretty please pony up as soon as you’re able! If your plans change, we will be happy to refund your shared costs (and fill your spot in camp), so there’s no risk in contributing now.
