Costs
Camp has a tiered pricing system. $575 is the true cost of operation camp. $475 and $525 are subsidized rates for families that don’t feel they can afford $575. Parents may choose to pay $475, $525, or $575 based on their ability to pay. This is not financial aid and DOES NOT affect their camp experience at all. This is an honor system.
The LIT program is $990 for a three-week program.
Climb On! camp costs $600.00
The CIT program is volunteer-based and does not cost anything.
Financial aid is available. Forms can be downloaded from the camp website or picked up at any branch.
