Can't Afford the Fees?
We do everything possible to keep the cost of our camps low (even our volunteer leaders have to pay). But we know they are still out of reach for some people. If you would like to participate on any of our Age Group or Family camps but fees make it difficult please contact the Booking Secretary or Camp Director for the camp you wish to attend. You can then be sent a form to apply for a subsidy.
