We both WOH and our kid goes to camp so we'll only be going on weekends (and not all weekends either). It seemed pretty high (I think like $100 per visit or something) when we calculated it.

Weren't dues already due?

We did KOC for a couple years but my kids missed the play structures at Upton Hill so then we decided to just go there until we figured out where their ES friends were going. Turns out they all go to either Ft. Myer (which we can't join), country clubs (we can't afford), or Upton Hill or W-L. So, we just continued with the NVRPA Bounce Passes and go to Upton Hill or the water park in Alexandria that has the big wave pool.

I think it is GS11 and up.

They were due last week but the late fee is pretty minimal.

We have been at high point for a couple years. The fee increase put a sour taste in my mouth as well. We ended up renewing this year but will probably switch to Tuckahoe when we get off the waitlist (hopefully next year). Tuckahoe is a little more (and the buy-in fee is much higher) but it's year-round and has a lot more amenities.

I am curious how many people did not renew at High Point this year.

Us too. We'll probably end up renewing this year because otherwise we'll not belong anywhere, but will leave once we get into Tuckahoe (nice to "find" another family thinking the same way we are about HP and Tuckahoe). We thought the same thing - might as well pay a little more but get a lot more amenities.
