*Ghost Ranch works to make its virtual offering affordable for all. We have created a three tier rate structure which we hope works for you. You will first note the Suggested Rate. However, you will also find a (+) rate where you can make an extra contribution to support those who might currently need some support as well as a (-) rate for a reduced rate in the event you need some support right now. If you need more support than the (-) reduced rate, please don't hesitate to reach out to info@ghostranch.org and we will see what we can do. We appreciate your support in these times which allows us to pay our Instructors and Staff and to keep the Ranch financially sustainable.
