Your child can go to a two week summer camp for as little as $5.00 a day*! That's right. This fee includes transportation to camp, three great meals and two snacks a day, cozy cabins, and super fun activities all supervised by trained, certified staff.
Parents who register early for a two week camp can go on a payment plan that allows payments as low $25.00 per week**.
Attend the information session to get the details.
NO WAITING! We can let you know your fee as soon as you fill out the financial aid application!
*for full campership campers.
**for partial campership campers.
More About Financial Aid
Cost of Camp is $1000 for two weeks and $500 for one week plus a $55 transportation fee. Family Camp and Horseback Riding Camp have different fees--please attend the registration information session for this information.
Full Camperships will pay for the entire cost of camp--all $1000. Parents must pay the $55.00 transportation fee. To qualify for a full campership you need to bring to registration your child's medical card with the correct number--this is for a Title XX campership. Our SCOPE campership requires the camper to attend public school and to do some written work. Your child must attend registration with you so they can write an essay "Why I want to go to Camp this Summer." The parent must also provide written proof their child has Free/Reduced lunches at school.
Partial Campership will pay MORE THAN HALF of the summer camp fee. Parents must pay the $55.00 transportation fee and $400.00 for a two week camp or $200.00 for a one week camp. This campership requires proof of income and dependents--tax return or payroll stub will do.
NEW! GET A DISCOUNT!
Bring in a NEW camper and receive a receive a camp fee discount or camp stuff. More details at the information session.
