Why have the camp fees been raised so much for 2008?
As you already have noticed, the cost of everything is going up. The camp’s base costs for food, energy, and maintenance are rising. We have raised our summer staff salaries to meet the new California minimum wage for 2008. We conduct background checks for all summer staff, all nurses, all speakers, and all volunteers over 18. We are committed to providing safe, high-quality, Christian staff and volunteers to supervise our campers and lead our programs. Our camp fees include supervision, three nutritious meals per day, all snacks, special activities, a camp photo and a camp t-shirt. The cost for a 6-night camp is about $75 per day. We believe this is an appropriate cost for the quality of overnight camping experience that we provide.
