We’re diving into some of what you could be paying for when it comes to those camp fees. If you found Episode 2 helpful for budgeting and planning, you’ll want to stick around for this one. Ever wonder why camp fees can be so pricey? Let’s break it down and uncover the wide range of expenses that go into creating a fun, safe, and enriching camp experience for your child.

In this episode, you'll learn:

​

• Professionally Trained and Qualified Staff: Camp fees help cover the costs of hiring experienced and skilled camp directors and staff, ensuring your child is in good hands.
• Resources: Due to inflation, quality resources and materials are more expensive. We prioritize sourcing durable supplies to withstand the active camp environment.
• Activities: Sometimes, we need to bring in specialized instructors for activities like swimming, dancing, and gymnastics to provide a higher-quality experience.
• Location: Adequate, spacious, and safe facilities are essential and can add to the cost, especially when renting is necessary.
• Sanitization: Enhanced cleaning protocols ensure a clean and fresh environment every day, which is crucial for the health and safety of all campers.
