4. What is the lodging at L&S like?
            Both students and chaperones are housed in the Lodge, International House or Duplex during the week, except when staying in the Global Village.
            The Lodge includes a girls' dorm room and a boys' dorm room. The large rooms each house about 20 students and have attached community bathrooms. Upstairs in the Lodge are four smaller rooms that house six to eight people. Each smaller room has its own bathroom. Downstairs in the Lodge is a full kitchen and a large community living area.
            The International House has a full kitchen, dining room and living room. Four rooms branch off of the community area. The International House can accomodate about 30 people total.
            The Duplex offers two separate sides. Each side has a full kitchen, living room and large bathroom upstairs. Downstairs, two dormitory-style rooms house bunk beds. The Duplex can accomodate about 24 people total.

Download the registration form (as a PDF or in Word) or call (256) 396-2015, and we will be happy to snail mail or e-mail you a form.

Complete the form (including signatures). Mail the form with a deposit check to:

Lineville, AL 36266

Credit card payments are also accepted. (Please note that an additional 3% service charge will be added to all charges made by credit card.) Credit card payments may be made by calling 256.396.2015, or you may pay online (more info on the L&S registration page).

7. How much is L&S?
            Registration is $285 per participant.

8. When do I have to pay?
           Because we understand that fundraisers cannot always happen at the same time, we've broken payments into three convenient steps:

1. Deposit: A $75 per person, non-refundable deposit is required to reserve spaces for a Learn & Serve week. The deposit goes toward your balance due.
2. First Payment: 50% of the group balance, less the deposit, will be due on April 1.
3. Second Payment: The remaining balance will be due 14 days prior to the scheduled date.

Registration fees are in U.S. dollars and can be paid by check, credit card or money order. Registration fees less deposits are refundable when canceled at least 30 days before the start of your registered week.

8. What do the registration fees cover?

• Lodging
• All Meals
• Programming materials and supplies
• Awesome T-shirt
• Guidebooks (devotional material)
• Highly trained camp staff

9. What happens if the week I want is full?
            All weeks are filled on a first-come, first-served basisi, so it helps to register early. If you register for a week that's full, we'll give you the option of being on a waiting list for your first choice, or registering for your second choice.

10. What if I need to cancel individuals - or my entire group?
            If you wish to cancel your group or reduce the number of participants, contact our L&S staff at 256.396.2015. When canceling a participant, the deposit will be forfeited. Forfeited deposits cannot be transferred to an account balance or to another group. However, forfeited deposits can be used to add a enw participant to your group.

Registration amounts paid (less deposit amounts) are refundable when SIFAT is notified at least 60 days before the start of your week. The entire camp fee will be forfeited for cancellations less than 60 days from the start of your week.

11. Can I add people later?
            Absolutely--provided your week has not been filled to capacity.
