At Camp Ghormley, we are committed to creating life-changing experiences for campers through our summer camp programs.
In the past, we priced camp at a rate we thought nearly all campers could afford, but this amount didn’t cover the full cost of camp.
You know your family’s financial situation better than we do. As you consider your family’s financial situation, please also consider the true cost of camp.
Ghormley uses a voluntary and confidential tiered-pricing structure. Rather than raising all camp fees to levels that fully cover camp expenses – and price camp beyond the means of many campers – we are giving you the option to pay more if you are able.
For each of our camps for youth, you will find two different camp prices. You get to choose the one that best fits your family’s ability to pay. Please consider selecting the highest price your family is able to afford. By doing so, you’ll not only help cover the true cost of running camp, but also protect every child’s opportunity to meet Christ and grow at camp.
True Cost of Camp (TC): This is the true overall cost of an individual’s participation at camp. This covers operational costs, plus on-going upkeep to the camp’s facilities and equipment.
Reduced Rate (RR): This lower rate doesn’t quite meet the true full cost of camp, but does cover the basic operational costs: food, staff wages, program supplies, utilities, insurance, etc.

If the lowest rate is most affordable to your family, please choose it. Your choice is and will remain voluntary and confidential. If you think you can help with some of the bigger expenses of operating camp, please choose a higher price.
Additional Scholarships: We desire to help all children who wish to attend to have a life-changing camp experience. If paying the discounted rate proves challenging, please consider applying for a financial aid scholarship. You can apply for a scholarship during the camp registration process.
FAQ – Can the additional cost I pay be tax-deductible? – Yes, and no. You cannot receive a tax-deductible receipt if the additional cost you pay above the “Discounted” rate is applied directly to your child’s account. However, if you wish to make a separate donation to Ghormley for the same amount, we can provide you a tax-deductible receipt. Please click here to make a standalone donation.
FAQ – Do I receive anything extra if I pay the higher rate? – Your child will receive the same camp experience regardless of which rate tier you choose. However, please know that by paying the higher rate tiers, you are covering the true cost of your child’s camp experience, which over the long-term will allow us to invest in and upgrade our facilities and amenities at a much faster rate.
