Early Bird (before 2/1/25) - $89
Regular Fees (2/1-3/25) - $945

The program fee covers all your program costs for the summer and other costs associated with the training. Your food and housing costs are covered by your employment at the YMCA. If you choose not to pay the full amount upfront, a payment schedule is available. If you have any problems meeting the payment schedule, please contact one of the Estes Park LT Program Directors. Together, we can look at the possibility of setting up an alternative payment plan to cover the program's costs.

HOW TO MAKE LT PAYMENTS
Program deposits and all other payments are made after you have been accepted into the Program. Payments may be made online (using a credit card or electronic transfer) or with a check or money order sent through the mail to their address, Reliant Mission ATTN: Event Payment 11002 Lake Hart Dr., Suite 100, Orlando FL 32832-7106. You can pay the total program fees early if this option is easier for you.
RAISING SUPPORT FOR LT
You are encouraged to raise support for your summer program fees. The program and your local church will offer guidance and coaching for the support-raising process.
Any gifts that are given for the LT program are not tax-deductible, but we still encourage the act of faith that support raising is. The Rocky Mountain Living Package at the Estes Park Center is the way to cover your food and housing right out of your paycheck. This is common for seasonal jobs like this. The fee can be added to your LT support raising goal, as you are there in the first place for your training as a Christian leader.
For 2025, the Rocky Mountain Living Package is $170/week, meaning an LTer can support raising an additional $1870 (on top of their LT program fee) for the 11 weeks of LT to recuperate the money taken from your paycheck by the YMCA for food and housing.
As an Estes Park LT participant, you are required to meet all of the financial obligations of the LT program. Failure to do so may result in early departure from the LT Program. Any unpaid balances will result in ineligibility to participate in future Reliant Mission sponsored events. Please read the following financial information carefully.
Cancellation + Refunds | There are generally no refunds for the LT program due to the high fixed costs and program administration. If you withdraw from the program:
Before May 1 — You will forfeit your deposit.
After May 1 — Any possible refund will be decided on a case by case basis and only for extreme cases (ie. Death of parent or sibling, severe illness, etc.) There are no refunds for participants who are dismissed or choose to leave the program. Participants agree to complete all payment obligations. Any exceptions must be granted in writing by a Program Director.
Late Fees | If you foresee that you will have any problems meeting the payment schedule, please contact one of the Estes Park LT Program Director immediately. Together we can look at the possibility of setting up an alternative payment plan to cover the program costs. If you miss a payment deadline and you have not made arrangements with Reliant, you may be assessed a late fee of $25 per payment. Failure to make a payment deadlines may result in Reliant suspending your participation in the program.
Non-sufficient Funds | Please make sure that you have sufficient funds to cover each payment. If you use a personal check for payments and there are insufficient funds in your checking account, Reliant will charge you a $25 NSF fee. If you pay by credit card and it is declined, we will require you to make immediate payment by check, money order, or cash.
