Summer Fishtrap 2011 - Registration Information

The Bookloft at Fishtrap

Mary Swanson’s “Bookloft at Fishtrap” will be open during the week. Faculty books, CDs, and DVDs will be available. Anyone who registers and has a book for sale should contact Mary at 541-426-3351 or bookloft@eoni.com to arrange for her to sell it at Fishtrap.

Fellowships & Scholarships

Each year Fishtrap selects from a pool of applicants up to five Fellows, who receive workshop registration, meals, and lodging for the Fishtrap week. The judge for 2011 was former fellow Robert Stubblefield. Fishtrap also awards several scholarships every year. The Sally Bowerman Scholarship goes to a working woman; the Frank Conley and Bryn Lunde scholarships are for young people. Click here for full details on fellowships and scholarships.

Fees & Payment

We want attendance at Fishtrap to be determined by desire, not limited by means. We try to keep our costs as low as possible, and some scholarships are available. Registration opens at 9 am on April 1, 2011. A $100 non-refundable deposit reserves your spot. Final payment is due June 16. A $30 discount is available to those who pay in full by May 15. We do accept VISA and MasterCard. We encourage you to register and pay online.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

Your deposit is non-refundable. Other than the deposit, you will receive a 100% refund if you cancel by June 1, a 50% refund if you cancel by June 20, and no refund if you cancel after June 20. If it is necessary for Fishtrap to cancel a workshop, you will be notified promptly and may choose to enroll in another workshop or receive a full refund, including the deposit.

Lodging

Summer Fishtrap is based at Wallowa Lake Camp and Retreat Center. You can choose from three levels of lodging at the camp. Wooden yurts can fit one to three people, and have their own bathroom; sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels are supplied. Rustic bunkhouses have bare mattresses, with bathroom facilities in nearby buildings; you should bring your own sleeping bag, pillow, or other bedding. There are also RV and tent spaces; campers use the same bathroom facilities as bunkhouse occupants.

You may also choose to stay in lodging other than that offered by the camp. For information on other lodging, see the list at right or contact the Wallowa County Chamber of Commerce at 800-585-4121 or www.wallowacountychamber.com.

Meals

Meals are served cafeteria style at Wallowa Lake Camp, and feature fresh local produce. Please indicate on the registration form if you prefer vegetarian or vegan fare.

Additional Information

You may wish to bring a seating cushion – like people use at ball games – as some of our seats are old fashioned and hard. No pets are allowed at Wallowa Lake Camp; however, pets are allowed at some other lodging sites at Wallowa Lake.

Notice of Non-Discrimination

Fishtrap, Inc. prohibits discrimination, on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or age, within its organization and during the conduct of any of its programs.
