Tier One closely reflects the full cost of camp, including staff expenses, property maintenance, food, and program supplies.

Tier Two is a partially subsidized cost of camp, for families that can pay a little more, but not the full cost of camp.

Tier Three is heavily subsidized through participation in product programs, special events, donations, and grants.

We believe every girl, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to experience camp. While the cost to maintain camp continues to rise, we understand families have differing abilities to meet summer camp costs. For this reason, we’ve adopted tiered pricing.

Choose the tier that works best for you and your family. Fee choice is on the honor system and no financial documentation is required.

All campers will have the same experience regardless of the tier chosen, and camp staff will have no knowledge of the tiers their campers’ families have chosen.
