The Pender Island Flute Retreat relies on donations for continued success and a charitable tax receipt is provided.
Please consider making a donation to supplement additional program costs not covered by attendee tuition. Tuition charged is comparable to other music education summer programs and the market simply cannot support a higher tuition which would cover all the costs. Each participants receives an automatic $300 scholarship.
Each year professional flutists and University students from around the world express deep gratitude for the opportunity to attend the retreat; without donations this would not be possible.
