Registration
You can register for the workshop online, or print/download/mail registration and scholarship forms.
Tuition
Cost of the 2013 workshop is $550. This includes admission to all workshop activities, and all public performances (mainstage and blues in the clubs).
If you think you might need financial assistance, Centrum has a scholarship and work-trade program. Early application is encouraged.
Gospel Track
Tuition for the 2013 gospel track is $170. This includes admission to the workshop Monday through Friday from 3:30-5pm and the mainstage performance on Saturday. The gospel track does not include blues in the clubs.
Room and Board
Most participants stay in private dormitory rooms at Fort Worden. If you stay in a dorm, you are required to purchase a meal ticket. There are a limited number of double rooms, that is, rooms with two twin beds. All rooms come with linens, blankets, and towels, but you should plan on bringing soap and personal toiletry items.
Meals are served at the Fort Worden Commons by Bon Appetit, who maintains a passion for fine locally-grown food in a socially-responsible manner.
Once you’ve registered for the workshop, you will have the opportunity to register for room and board through Centrum. This year you will have the opportunity to choose between the jam wing and the quieter wing. In the jam wing participants can jam in the common area between 8:00am and 10:00pm.
