Most of our camps have no camp fee. The host organizer covers accommodation, meals, local transportation, scheduled activities, and camp insurance during the program.
Participants pay a separate registration fee to BigBang Artwork, which varies by camp. Some programs also charge a small camp fee. Both fees will be clearly listed so you know what to expect before registering.
Airport transfers follow each camp’s designated arrival and departure arrangements. International airfare, passports, visas, and personal expenses are not included unless specifically stated.
New destinations will be added here as dates and arrangements are finalized.
