Question for those involved in Youth Camps

jdavis · Postby **jdavis** » May 31st, 2008, 5:20 pm

In Illinois/Wisconsin our senior camp is 6 nights long and costs $125.00.
Some are complaining about the cost. It went up this year. If you dont mind please share how much your senior camp costs and how many nights. This may give an idea if we are in line with other states.

Thanks,

john

'Bama camps are $150 the day of I don't know what it is for pre-registration

WA State was $125 as of last year, and I think Missouri is $125 as well.

Honestly for what COGOP camps have to offer $125 is a steal. Granted some other church organizations offer some different and varied activities, but you'll pay 3 times what you pay at a COGOP camp.

Plus you might find your "calling" at a COGOP camp (I'm ducking now).

Washington St is $125 if apps are in before June 1st. $150 if before middle of June. After that it increases again, but I dont remember the cost.

OHIO CAMPS......drum roll please.......$95 for 5 wonderful nights! And meals are prepared by the camp staff (the people we rent the camp grounds from) not our staff. It's really a great deal!

It is not a bad price for camp. The NC Camps price all so gets the camp t-shirt.

I am not sure if my daughter is going this year. she HATED camp last year. But Loved working it.

The Florida camps in the Church of God are $85 early-bird, $95 after early-bird, $110 walk-up registration, but they only stay 4 nights. The t-shirt is $10 extra. Plus the dreaded SNACK-BAR.

KY is $115 (early registration) for the middle school and High school ages, Juniors are $90, but it's a nigh shorter.

Thanks for the responses. It looks like our camp is about right for 6 nights. BTW we also ask staff members to donate $5 per night to help offset costs and that has raised even more discontent.

TN is $100 for 5 nights. You get a t-shirt with that. There are late fees that apply.

sounds like this could be where your problem is

let's see, we want you to volunteer to work camp but we need you to "donate" $30 one might say we'll let you work in our camp for the small fee of $30

Our camp runs deeply in the red every year. Asking staff to help offset the cost of insurance and meals that are the same whether you are a camper or a staff member is one area of resource. The other alternative is to charge the campers even higher tuition. Everyone wants a campground but nobody wants to pay for it.

Do you guys own or rent the campground/
