New Pricing Tier Structure: To better meet the needs of our families, we have instituted a new voluntary 3 tier pricing structure. Choose the level most suitable for your family. Fees will not have any impact on the child’s experience while at camp and will be kept confidential.

  • Tier 1 is based on the full cost of the program. If you are able to pay this amount, please do so. Thank you.
  • Tier 2 is a partially subsidized rate that will enable families that just can’t afford the full cost of the camp program.
  • Tier 3 is a more heavily subsidized rate for families whose children would not be able to attend camp otherwise.
  • Tier 4 is a variable rate for families who show a demonstrated need that is greater than the subsidized rates. Aid, is donated by our funders and past alumni.

If you need Financial Aid, please contact our office for a financial aid application at 617.745.4150 x100 or download form on our website. If downloading you will need to also send or email the required tax form as well. Aid is determined by need and a first come basis. Financial aid forms will be reviewed on February 20, March 20, April 20 and May 20, 2010.
