What does camp cost?
The fee for a week of camp is $2,060. We maintain a two to one ratio of campers to staff in order to provide excellent care and supervision for all campers.
We realize many families have extreme costs associated with caring for your loved ones and we have NEVER turned anyone away because of a need for financial assistance. We have established the sliding scale fee below to help all campers attend camp. The guidelines have been developed based on yearly household income, and include Salary, SSA, SSI, and ALL income sources. The fee is based on a weeklong camp session.
If the sliding scale costs are still too much, please apply for a campership (scholarship) online when you register.
