For every five youths (13 - 17 years old) registering for the conference, there must be one adult chaperone over 21 years of age, who is registered and paid to attend with them. The chaperone must accompany and take full responsibility for their youth during the entire event.
Each participant should indicate his/her session selection on the registration form. Please check the conference website for session availability and ensure you give us several alternate selections in case your original selection has filled. A schedule of the sessions reserved for each youth will be forwarded to the accompanying adult or sponsoring school/organization.

Fundraising
An important task for most youth wanting to attend Dreamcatcher is fundraising. We suggest that you begin your fundraising activities early to ensure that you have sufficient funds prior to the conference. In addition, take advantage of the Early Bird registration fee--it can save money, especially for large groups.
Here are some fundraising ideas to help you get started:
- sell flowers for Mother's Day
- car wash for Father's Day
- garage sale
- talent show
- live/silent auction
- hot dog and bake sales
- organize a bottle drive
- host a pot-luck supper
