Incredibly cheap!  ESCAPE 2003 costs were:

lodging         $20 or less per night

Instructors pay nothing.  

Non-SAR companions are welcome and may register for lodging
and meals.  Non-SAR dogs or other animals are *not* welcome.

Participants who brought horses camped out near some large
horse pens.  There was piped potable water in the pens, and
we had use of toilets, sinks, and hot showers in an adjacent
cabin.  Lodging cost for this was $2 per person per night;
most brought our own food so did not buy conference meals.
I bought some conference meals, and they were a good value.
