(Early Bird, Regular, Student, Faculty/Clergy, and Group Rates)
Full Conference Tuition Types (Early Bird, Regular, Student, Faculty/Clergy, and Group Rates) include:
Not included in the above rates are:
The Assembly Buildings Conference Centre will serve as our main venue for the 2025 Summer Institute, hosting most sessions throughout the week. Select afternoon and evening events will also take place at various locations around the city.
The Europa Hotel will act as our headquarters hotel, hosting the late-night “Bag End Café” and several afternoon seminars.
Please Note: Lodging is not included in registration and must be booked separately. Attendees are responsible for their own accommodations. A variety of hotels are available within walking distance of our venues. For details and booking links, visit our Lodging Page.
We accept payment online, by phone, and by mail using the following methods:
Make checks payable to C.S. Lewis Foundation and include a note indicating the payment is for Summer Institute 2025.
During online registration, select Check as your payment method.
Mail your payment to:
C.S. Lewis Foundation
P.O. Box 8008
Redlands, CA 92375
Please Note: we do not receive mail at our physical address.
Paying by check helps us avoid credit card processing fees—every dollar saved supports our mission!
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
Credit cards are charged through PayPal as the processing company, but do not require a PayPal account or sign up.
You may use a PayPal account to pay through our online registration system.
Due to credit card fees and the extra costs we incur to track, collect, and process partial payments for the Conference, we very much prefer to receive payment in full.
While full payment is strongly preferred for those reasons, we understand some may need to pay over time.
If you plan to make partial payments:
Early Bird and other time-discounted rates require full payment by the posted deadline.
Please make partial payments by check to:
C.S. Lewis Foundation
Attn: Summer Institute
P.O. Box 8008
Redlands, CA 92375
Include “Summer Institute” in the memo line.
When registering, you may choose whichever option is applicable and serves you best.
Registrants can only receive one discount:
Discounts listed above may not be combined. For example, a person can only receive the Super Early Discount or the Student Discount, but not both.
Note: Group discounts cannot be combined with other discounts. To receive the discount, groups must register together using the bundle discount on our 2025 Summer Institute online registration page or call us to arrange registration & payment.
Super Early & Early Bird Discounts:
Require payment in full during the discount time period. If you register during the period, but don’t make payment until after the discount expires, you will not receive the discount.
Scholarships & Discounts:
If you are awarded a tuition or work study scholarship, you will not also receive a discount. You’ll need to register for the full registration rate (not Early Bird nor Super Early Bird) and choose check in the mail as your payment option. We’ll then award your scholarship, log it in the registration system, and have you make payment on the remaining amount separately at a future date.
Note: if you do need to cancel for any reason, you can transfer a registration to another person (who is not already registered for the event) with no penalty, by notifying us up to the week prior to the event.
It is strongly advised that C.S. Lewis Summer Institute participants purchase travel insurance to protect themselves from unforeseen events that may impact their travel plans.
As all C.S. Lewis Foundation costs for the event are ultimately due and payable in British pounds sterling to vendors in the U.K., the cost in U.S. currency may be subject to increase due to potential fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Should the cost of the pound rise above $1.80 by July 1, 2025, a pro-rata currency exchange surcharge may be applied.
The C.S. Lewis Foundation assumes no liability for changes in personal, individual travel plans or additional travel costs due to travel complications that might arise (please see our refund policy above). In case of the event being cancelled, we are able to convert the amount to a donation, apply it to future events, or refund attendees in installments and based on our Board of Trustees’ guidance.
By registering for the event, you give your consent to be filmed/photographed during the event for potential use for archival, fundraising, marketing, and promotional productions of the C.S. Lewis Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Note: we do not share your contact information with outside groups and only will contact you for programs, event, and fundraising related purposes of the C.S. Lewis Foundation. You may opt out from our mailing list at any time by emailing schevalier@cslewis.org.
