Costs

CYSO tours are built to cost, and prices cannot be guaranteed to be the same from year to year. The advertised price is usually higher than the final price, and should be understood to be a projected "price cap".
The CYSO does not profit from the tours, and when possible, remaining funds are reimbursed to families.
