Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the weekend cost?
The total cost for the weekend is dependent upon the number of people in your party as well as your preference in housing. There are a variety of housing options, ranging in price. Housing and meal prices are set by GPC. Meal prices are per person for the entire weekend (nine meals), which includes Friday dinner through Monday lunch. Facility and camp fees also apply and are based upon the size of your family. See below for the 2020 fee schedule.
In addition, some housing choices do not include linens (bed sheets, washcloths and towels). You are welcome to bring your own, or linens can be rented for an additional $13.00 per person for a twin bed, $17.00 for a double bed.
Meal costs may vary, depending on whether anyone in your family has dietary restrictions. Please note that vegan and gluten free food options cost an additional $3.00 per meal, for a total weekend additional food cost of $27.00 per person.
So, how much does the weekend cost? Below is a sample 2020 total cost breakdown for a family of four, choosing traditional meals with no dietary restrictions. Accommodations are for three nights and nine meals per person.
Costs can be kept lower if the family brings their own linens, chooses another housing option, is new to the camp, or is eligible for a scholarship (see below).
For ease, payments are typically made in three installments.
