dates and rates

The full camp season is seven weeks long. Campers may also attend for the half season which is three and a half weeks long. We encourage full season attendance and camp fees are structured accordingly.  Approximately 75% of the girls come for the half season and 25% stay the full season. We accept applications on a first come, first served basis with returning campers and their siblings receiving guaranteed placement through January 31st.
