Why is $5 charged for some trips?
A fee of $5 is charged for many trips and events, generally those that involve much more organization and expenses such as campground fees, meals, equipment rentals, etc. This $5 is budgeted into the total cost of the trip and is not paid separately. It goes directly into the Young Members budget to pay for food and equipment for sponsored activities, to subsidize workshops and trainings and to support conservation efforts. YM is a self-supported committee and only receives partial funding from the Boston Chapter AMC.
