Our goal is simple: to make Camp Jamison affordable and welcoming for all families. Our idea of “fair” might seem different than you’re used to, but it’s an essential part of our camp and community values.
This year, we have 70 camper spots available, and we’re offering a $300 base price for returning families—but with only 20% of spots available at this rate, we kindly ask that you only choose this amount if you genuinely need it. As of March 2025, all $300 scholarships have been given away.
New families are welcome to join us at a starting base price of $500.
We know every family’s financial situation differs, and we want to keep camp accessible. But let’s be real—$300 doesn’t go very far. It helps cover the basics, like meals and transportation, but we rely on families who can give a little more to help make up the difference and ensure that all campers receive the full camp experience.
In 2024, the average payment per camper was $403, an increase of almost $100 from the previous year. This generosity has helped us sustain our mission and keep camp accessible, even as costs rise.
How It Works
The cost to run our program—including transportation, meals, paid trained staff, and all activities—is $2,000 per camper. We see each family’s contribution as an investment in our shared vision of making camp accessible and impactful for all campers. We sincerely appreciate your support if you can invest that in our program.
Payment Process
Nonrefundable Deposit: A $125deposit is required to secure your child’s spot. This deposit is nonrefundable and due upon registration.
Flexible Payment Plan: In January, we will send out invoices so you can begin making payments toward your balance. This allows you more time to pay off the total amount before camp starts, making the process more manageable for all families.
