S.O.M.A 2025 offers the chance for communal support, through a sliding scale system, donations or applying as a helper to attend Dancescapes or Contact Camp.

Donations

You can donate whether you are participating or not. Any amount, no matter how small, is helpful and will be added to other donations. The final sum will be spread equally among individuals with limited financial resources who are challenged to join.

If you would like to donate please write to us.

Sliding scale fees

S.o.M.A. 2025 offers a wide range of sliding scale for participation in both camps. Please take a moment to reflect as you decide on what scale fits you best.

REGULAR pass: For employed individuals who are meeting their basic needs, and have a small margin of expendable income.

REDUCED pass: For under-employed, unemployed individuals, and students. 4 spots available for all weekly classes and both intensive camps.

SUPPORT pass: For the financially stable and/or abundant who may not need to work full time. Your support pass contributes to giving access to other financially challenged members of the community to attend at a lower rate.
