July 15 - 20 2013 Videos: Overview of the Retreat 2003 News Report Need Financial Aid? How about the 'Refer a Friend' Program:   The two main purposes of the 'Refer a Friend' tuition discount are first, to invite students that have not previously attended Mountains and Strings, and second, to help you with your tuition since scholarship funds are limited. Here are some guidelines on how to earn the tuition discount. You earn a $50 tuition discount for each new student whose name you refer to us that ends up attending Mountains & Strings.  Just cough up the names of your friends or enemies, and we'll invite them. Hypothetically speaking, you could pay your entire tuition if you gave us enough names and phone numbers. Unfortunately, we can't discount your tuition more than the actual cost of camp. (Come on cheapskate – get a summer job already, and make sure you can get the week of the retreat off.)  Referrals must end up registering for the camp before the referral discount will be applied to your tuition.  If you've already paid your tuition, we'll write you a check.  Referrals don't count for students or siblings of students that have already attended Mountains & Strings or whose parents have already been in previous contact with the camp directors.  Remember, we are seeking new recruits, and if we've already been recruiting these people, you will not get the discount. To earn $100.00 per recruit, you must contact the students, put the schmooz on them and their parents and finally get them to apply to the music camp.
