The AYCC offers families an option to have automatic payments set up for an easy-pay option on balances. This is not required, but suggested. This may be done by the account holder in our online services, or may be set up by AYCC staff. We do require a Auto Scheduled Payment form to be completed and turned into Wendy Grenier for set up. Monthly payments are set up for the first of every month beginning December 1, 2023 and each month on the 1st through March 1, 2024. Payments are approximately $412.50/month for Students or $350.00/month for Chaperones. Those receiving financial assistance are also eligible for the auto payment option.

Auto Payment Form

The AYCC utilizes an online database for our registrations and payments. Here are some helpful hints when registering.

1. All registrants should create a FREE NON-MEMBER PARTICIPANT account.

2. Begin by adding the ADULT (parent/guardian) first, and then add the youth onto the account while setting up. The system will not allow youth to be set up first and all accounts must have an adult listed, regardless if they are registering for the tour.

3. If you are unable to add youth to the account, please call our Welcome Center to add a youth onto the account.

4. Then complete the registration, following all the steps.

5. For issues or errors with registration, or login errors, plese reach out to Wendy Grenier for assistance.  Email / 207-873-0684.

6. We suggest keeping your login credentials somewhere safe because at any time, families may login to the account to make payments or to see a current balance. To login after registration, please use this link.
