Please note, if you are selecting Full Jam Registration prior to October 15, you will have the option to either make full payment or make a $100 deposit on the following registration checkout page to hold your place. If you would like housing for the jam, you must also make that payment in full. Please remember, timing is important. Housing costs will increase as the lower price units are reserved and will be reflected in the price listed above. We recommend reserving housing at the time payment or deposit is made for the jam to assure housing at the price listed above. If you are interested in the pre-jam workshop, you will also have the option to add that payment on the next page.
Hosted Lodging Details
Use the above registration section to purchase lodging for use during the PT Jam. Housing is not included in the jam cost, it is an additional cost. Participants may choose to purchase lodging for themselves for their private use, or share with their jam friends. The PT Jam will no longer offer a shared housing purchase option, but all are welcome to share housing as desired by making arrangements with others attending the jam. By opening up the room sharing per attendees preferences, we hope to enable more room sharing options and reduce cost for attendees wishing to share a room. There will still only be ONE BED per room available. Please bring appropriate bedding to sleep on the floor. The PT Jam will not have extra mats/bedding. Participants purchasing PT Jam hosted lodging at Fort Warden may arrive on Wednesday evening December 18th after 5pm (opening jam is at 7pm) to get settled in their lodging. Housing must be cleaned and vacated by 11am on Sunday, December 22nd. We can assist with making other arrangements if you choose to find housing on your own.

On-Site food prep
All participants are responsible for their own food. The lodging facilities have kitchens or kitchenettes. Prepared food will not be provided. We may host potluck dinners as in past years depending on the desire of participating attendees, to be determined before or upon arrival.
helpful hint
If you have food allergies or sensitivities, consider sharing a unit with others with similar concerns to make food prep easier.
