Registration Information

Registration is online only (no paper registrations) through CCL. Please do not call Ridgecrest for reserving a room, meal plan, childcare, etc., as the folks at Ridgecrest cannot provide this service. All registrations are handled through CCL. Thank you.

The registration deadline is June 30, 2008. 

We are sorry that no families or individuals can register after June 30, 2008, because, late registrations complicate reserving space for childcare, sleeping rooms, workshop rooms, etc.  If you plan on attending Convention 2008, please register early since we are limited to 235 on-site rooms (see Accommodations).

If a CCL volunteer has financial difficulty in attending the convention, we suggest that you sell an ad for the convention book. New this year, you may deposit any funds generated from convention book ad sales into your Chapter account to offset your personal convention expenses. Or, talk to your local chapter about other possible sources of funding, i.e., contact your local pastor, family life or NFP office, or the local Knights of Columbus for assistance.

We encourage you to make payments over the next several months. Payments should be made via credit card (Visa or Mastercard). No payments will be accepted at check-in on Tuesday July 29, 2008.

For those staying off-campus and attending less than the entire convention, the fee is $25 per day per adult.

Scholarship Fund

As some CCL volunteer families need financial assistance to attend the convention, there is a limited Scholarship Fund. If you cannot attend and would like to contribute to this fund to help deserving families attend, you may send a check made payable to CCL Convention 2008 Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 111184, Cincinnati, OH 45211-1184.
