How many scholars are set to attend JrNYLC the week of Oct 18-23?

When I went last summer there were about 250-300 scholars. It's different at every session.

No one knows how many people will be there for sure until they avtually show up!

at my conference there were..gosh how many? probably 300-400?

Thanks for the info, Kelly H and Tinkerbell!!

No problem!

Since my conference was during Halloween it was only about 150-200 kids. We still had a lot of fun though!

Wow, I don't even remember how many kids there were at mine. I remember there were quite a few because schools were either on Easter break or just about to go on Easter break. So I think there were maybe 300 - 450? It really does depend on the week.

WHen i went,march 4-9 2007, we were the biggest group to ever go and i think we had 400?But it will probably be full so close to 400.

I went in December with 150 kids.

My info is probably REALLY outdated, because I went... uhh... three years ago I want to say? Three or four.

It was about two hundred then.

But yeah it really just depends on the session.
Probably in the warmer ones there will be more kids.

when i went two summers ago it was abut 250 kids maybe 300

ok. so theres hundreds of kids in each session. about how many kids are in an LFG? or on a bus? or really anywhere else there's group stuff?

LFG's usually have about 16 people, depending on the conference size. My conference was unusually large, so there were yeah, about 16.

Buses usually have about.. haha well I don't know. All I remember was I was bus count #30. So probably around 50 people.

ok thanx!!!!!!!

Do the attendees usually take cash or is it better to send prepaid credit cards or some such thing? And how much money is recommended to have?

Well, I recommend about $200. Just to be safe. They take $20 from you at the beggining and give it to you when you leave to make sure you'll have enough money for lunch. No big deal. Then if you've never been to DC before, you will definitely want to buy a few souveniers! It really depends on what you're planning to buy. Also, you'll want to buy a lot of stuff at the Hard Rock Cafe and the Science Center, but it's not necessary. I brought $200 but I barely spent half of it because I'd been to DC and those places many times before.

I reccommend cash because it's gauranteed to be taken everywhere. When I went, a few people had trouble with their prepaid cards.
