PARENT GUIDE

(For Existing Users)

Spending Money

Based on past history, an amount of approximately $20-$50 per week is adequate for personal spending. It is required that all students bring with them a Debit Card linked to an active bank account and a wallet. There are a number of local banks where a bank account may be set up for your student (i.e. Chase Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America).  Please recommend that your student take full advantage of the meals and snacks available on campus (there is no need to purchase food unless the student so desires— we will always provide free food options on campus).

Lodging and Facilities

Our newly renovated cabins are our students' homes while at the Academy, and we want them to be a restful, comfortable space. Cabins are separated by gender, and are fully furnished with twin bunks, a kitchenette, a storage room, closets, a full bathroom, and a living area with couches to relax on. Students will share a room with no more than one other student, in either a three bedroom unit or a studio unit. Students can request a private room within a shared cabin for an additional cost per semester(if available).

Students have full access to campus facilities including the outdoor skatepark, called the Concrete Jungle, B.O.B., featuring indoor skating, trampolines, and a Bag Jump air bag, workout facilities, student lounge and dining area.

Laundry and Linens 

Self-service laundry facilities are available on campus at no additional cost (not coin-operated). 

Additional Activities

All additional activities are supervised and may include trips to Portland, the movie theater, a local sporting event, a hike, etc. Some of these costs are included in student tuition, but students will be responsible for paying for optional meals, groceries, etc. If an extra fee is associated with an activity (ex: students going to a parent-approved concert), students will be notified of the extra cost associated beforehand. 

Overnight Travel Expenses

Travel trips for competitions and training may be anywhere from 3 to 10 days each. This travel expense is not included in tuition and is billed separately in advance of the trip. Teams usually travel 2-3 times per semester. Trip costs range from around $900 for a trip to Mammoth, CA and $2000+ for a trip to Austria or New Zealand. All trips are optional.

Insurance

Tuition fees do not include any provisions for personal, medical or property insurance. It is mandatory that each student provides proof of health insurance. The Student Health Form, Consent for Treatment and Insurance Information forms are mandatory and must be received by Wy’East Academy prior to participation in any of our programs.
