Memberships are $15 per year plus a $5 refundable locker fee. Some field trips and special activities have separate fees. Scholarships are available for both memberships and activities. Transportation home each evening is available for a $5 fee per semester. All youth under the age of 18 must provide a valid parent signature in order to activate memberships. We also require that parents/guardians complete a financial information sheet that is required of our funders.
