Dues Info & Trailseekers!
2009-2010 Program Dues
We would like to start off by saying that dues are vital to the livelihood of our program.
They allow us pay for all of the patches and program supplies, they pay for the staff, and they allow us to continue to keep the cost down on many of the events like Fall and Spring Outing. We are counting
on all you chiefs to help make sure that we get all the dues in for the upcoming season. The 2009-2010 dues are $91 per pair for non-members of the YMCA, $73 per pair for members of the YMCA.
and for each additional child in the program: $27 for YMCA members and $33 for non-Y members. Due to the overwhelming amount of phone calls, please mail a check or your credit card information to the YGP office (address at the bottom of this page) or in person (check, cash, or credit).
