Camp Fire recognizes that families have differing abilities to pay and has introduced a voluntary tiered pricing program for overnight camp to enable all families the opportunity for a quality camp experience for their children. This program is voluntary, confidential, requires no paperwork, and in no way influences the experience your child receives. Simply choose the rate that works best with your family budget.

• Tier A: $620.00
  • Tier A is our historically standard program rate. This price is subsidized to a greater extent, supported through contributions from alumni, sponsorships, and grants.
• Tier B: $680.00
  • Tier B is a partially subsidized rate that reflects the direct costs of camp, including food, housing, staff, and materials.
• Tier C: $710.00
  • Tier C most closely reflects the “true cost” of camp, including maintenance, insurance, administration, and utilities as well as direct costs like staffing and program supplies. Choosing Tier C helps support the cost of camperships so no child is unable to attend due to their family’s financial circumstances.

Overnight summer camp is a magical experience and often a highlight of our campers’ year! Spend the week making friends, trying new things, and enjoying traditional outdoor pursuits! Campers make their own schedule, choosing from an exciting roster of activities offered that week, such as archery, outdoor living, arts and crafts, nature, and sports and games. All activities are facilitated by our trained, compassionate staff. Every evening is tied together with a group activity and counselor-led reflection. Fun, friendship, and personal growth await your camper this summer at Camp Hantesa!

**Optional overnights offered for campers attending two or more consecutive sessions. Please call for details.
