Unfortunately, we have had to raise our fees for 2025 due to the minimum wage increase and the rising cost of food. It costs us around $1,600 for each camper on overnight weeks and $750 for each camper during day weeks. We do our best to try and not pass on the full cost of camp to the campers or their guardians. We will continue to fundraise to help make up the difference. We truly love each camper that comes to Camp and we appreciate their guardians/parents support. THANK YOU!!!
