Workshop payment
A deposit is required to reserve space in a workshop
and in Ranch-provided housing. One deposit of $500
is required to reserve a space for an adult in one or
more workshops (with or without housing). If the total
of tuition, studio fee and registration fee is less than
$550—as with children’s workshops or the weekend
photography workshops—then all monies are due at the
time of registration.
The Ranch accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express,
Discover, personal checks, bank checks, traveler’s
checks, money orders and cash. The balance of tuition,
studio and registration fees, and housing is due 60
days prior to the start of your first workshop. We will
automatically charge the balance to the credit card
used for the deposit when it comes due, unless you
have made other arrangements prior to the due date.
Thus, we strongly discourage the use of debit cards
for deposit; we are not responsible for penalties you
incur from your bank if an account is overdrawn when
the balance is charged. If payment in full is not received
by the due date, you risk forfeiting your enrollment and
housing space and may also incur a cancellation fee.

Adult workshop pricing Waiting lists
REGISTRATION FEE : A registration fee is charged
Throughout the Workshop Catalog you will notice a
“Tuition Price” and a “Tuition + Studio Support Donation.”
Via our fundraising efforts, the Ranch underwrites costs,
an average of $200 per week for each adult student.
Many have asked to know this subsidized amount of
the workshops they attend and have offered to pay this
extra amount. In response, we provide students with a
choice when signing up for a class.
You will find two prices listed for each class and the
option to pay “Tuition Price” or “Tuition + Studio Support
Donation.” You can choose either option. The difference
between the “Tuition Price” and the “Tuition + Studio
Support Donation” is a tax-deductible donation to the
Ranch. In advance, many thanks for your support!
When a summer workshop or destination workshop fills,
we start a waiting list. There is no charge to be on the
waiting list. If space becomes available, we contact the
first person on the list. That person then has 24 hours
to register before we move on to the next person. If a
space becomes available within 60 days of the start of
a workshop, the Registrar may contact all those on the
waiting list and the space will be given to the first person
to register.
