We offer an Early Bird discount if you register and submit payment before the date listed below.

We offer financial aid to campers based on demonstrated need. See the financial aid section for more information.

Parents of Overnight and ExplorAsian campers are required to perform one POD shift per camper. Parents may opt-out of POD participation by submitting a waiver fee of $300.00 per camper.

Below are a list of forms you should prepare before starting the registration form. Please fill out these forms PRIOR to registering for camp. You will be asked to upload these forms during the registration process.

Financial Aid

We try our best to make our programs affordable for everyone. Financial Aid is available and is based solely on need. Families who qualify are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. It is essential that you provide support document to demonstrate your need. Our goal is to offer an opportunity to families who may otherwise not be able to afford the program to share our camp experience.

The Financial Aid application is strictly confidential. Financial Aid is a separate process from program acceptance and is awarded after program acceptance. Please complete both the Camper/CIT program application form (indicating that you are applying for Financial Aid) and the Financial Aid application form. Please also note that it is required that you send in a 50% deposit with your financial application.

Our data is based on the Federal Poverty Guidelines, which are released each year.
