IMPORTANT:
Parishes CANNOT INCREASE their numbers without prior approval from Encounter. IF a group does not have the minimum number of adults to match their youth count - they WILL have to forfeit youth spots.

Groups who have sent completed individual registration forms before April 1, will be given a $50 per person discount. Only those application forms in our registry will be honored at that discount price. All registrations and medical forms must be turned in by June 1 with no penalty.

Binding agreement:
Individual registration forms submitted upon acceptance of the group application are considered binding reservations; once an individual registration form is approved by Encounter, parish/groups are obligated to pay for that spot; if a cancellation occurs prior to June 1, a substitute participant may fill that spot, or the deposit is forfeited. After June 1, if no substitute is made, position is subject to payment in full, with discretionary consideration.

Group Leader/Contact Signature- please type your full name *

I understand that this is just a GROUP reservation for the total number of expected participants and we will be invoiced at $100 per person reserved. Actual participant spots are not fully guaranteed until individual registration forms are printed, signed and sent to Encounter. Any deposit paid will be balanced against the total number of participants actually registered for final balance due. I also agree NOT to exceed my expected number without prior approval from Encounter.
