For one-week sessions that are half-day (Canoeing, Kayaking, and Windsurfing Intro or Intermediate), the cost is $135. Please see the class schedule for the cost of the session of your choice.

Union Membership: If you are not a current UW-Madison student, you can participate by joining the Wisconsin Union. See below for more information.

Late registration fee: $20 (within one week of class start)
Transfer or cancellation fee: $10 (to switch classes or cancel)
Late cancellation fee: $25 (within one week of class start)

There is no refund on or after the first class day and no refund for reduced sailing, windsurfing or kayaking/canoeing caused by adverse weather (lack of wind, too much wind, rain, snow, etc).

Insurance Information

The registration fee includes insurance for accidental injuries, up to $5,000 ($1,000 primary coverage, the next $4,000 is in excess of your own personal insurance). Illness is not included, so it is important that participants have their own health insurance.

 

Wisconsin Union Membership

If you are currently not a UW-Madison student or Union member, you can participate simply by joining the Wisconsin Union. Union membership is open to the public. 

6-month Union Introductory Membership is $30 and is available for first-time Union memberships only. Please complete the appropriate section on the youth registration form. 

Annual Union membership is $50 per year and may be obtained by completing the Application for Wisconsin Union Membership form (see Registration Forms at left) or by simply registering on line at www.union.wisc.edu.  Once you are a Union member, you then pay the "UW Student/Union Member" price. Please direct all membership questions to the Wisconsin Union Membership Office at 608-262-2263.

 

Financial Aid and Scholarship Info

A limited amount of financial aid is available. If you have a significant financial limitation but would like to involve your youth, please complete a scholarship application and mail a letter to the Hoofer Youth Program addressed to the Head of Instruction. Be sure to include which session or sessions you are interested in.
