The true cost of a week of camp at a given site is $10,200. We know for most churches, passing on that level of financial commitment would make camp an impossibility. We also want the camp to be financially stable enough to serve children now and fifty years from now.

We ask churches to select one of the three tiered prices, with a minimum of $4,500 total, and to prayerfully consider a larger share if it is financially feasible.*

If there is a gap between the host church portion and the true cost, our Financial Partnership Committee will reach out to you to receive feedback on potential financial partner churches in your community.

They will then begin the hard work of closing the financial gap on both of our behalfs, and on behalf of every camper who needs camp.

Tiered Pricing:

Tier 1 - Covers 44% of the true cost of Camp:

$4500

Tier 2 - Covers 54% of the true cost of Camp:

$5500

Tier 3 - Covers 64% of the true cost of Camp:

$6500

Amount selected does not positively or negatively impact application, nor does it alter the high-quality camp experience your church and campers will receive.
