When you are ready to enroll…

Paying for Camp

Camp is a meaningful investment in your child’s growth and development, and we’re committed to helping make it manageable for your family. We offer a variety of flexible payment plans designed to meet different needs. Whether you prefer to pay in full, spread payments out over several months, or set up a custom schedule, we’re happy to work with you to find an option that fits your budget. Our goal is to make the camp experience accessible and stress-free from start to finish.

Check out our 2026 Enrollment Guide to learn more about payment plans, important deadlines, and our cancellation policy.

If you cancel your child’s registration:
  1. Prior to February ​3rd: Any tuition paid, excluding your deposit, will be refunded.
  2. After​ February ​3rd:  ​50% of the tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable.
  3. ​After April 3rd: There are no tuition refunds or transfers after April ​3rd.

What to Consider Prior to Enrollment

Tiered Pricing

Tiered pricing allows families the opportunity to choose the tuition they can afford. Watch our video and check out our FAQs to learn more.

Tiered Pricing FAQs

Some families ask how their income corresponds to a tier selection but unfortunately, financial circumstances are complicated! There’s a lot more to a family’s financial situation than just income – number of children, if they’re paying college tuition, caring for a loved one etc. We encourage families to select the tier that they can afford, understanding that what camp offers is an investment in your child.

Yes! The tiered pricing system is designed to offer flexibility as your financial circumstances change — whether you’re balancing college tuition, sending multiple kids to camp, or experiencing a change in income. You can choose a different tier year to year as your financial circumstances change.

No. Tier 1 reflects the full cost of camp for one camper — including staff salaries, program supplies, food, insurance, maintenance, and more. By selecting Tier 1, you are covering your camper’s full experience.

Families who select Tiers 2-5 receive support through our Annual Fund and endowment. If you’re able to select Tier 1, thank you — it helps keep camp strong and sustainable for all.

Thank you! Donations to our Annual Fund help to fund tuition assistance and help more families access the gift of camp. You can make a gift on our online giving page or by calling our Development Office at 413-623-8991 ext. 169.

We understand this concern, and you’re not alone. Since launching tiered pricing, we’ve been committed to addressing the gap between Tier 4 and financial aid eligibility. For summer 2026, we made significant progress by deepening discounts in our lower tiers — and we’re committed to continuing this work in the years ahead. We’re also actively evaluating our financial aid process to better serve families in this in-between space. If you’re unsure what to do, please reach out — we’re here to help.

Yes – We offer several payment plans that families can choose from when they enroll including a monthly payment plan and a February/April installment plan. If you have questions about alternative payment plans, please contact camp.
