How Camp Summit Makes Camp Accessible for All Families

At Camp Summit, we recognize that the cost of summer camp can be a barrier for many families, particularly those with children with disabilities. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to experience the joys of camp, regardless of their financial situation. Here’s how we make camp accessible for all families.

Understanding Camp Fees

The cost for a week at Camp Summit is $2,060, but we offer a sliding scale fee structure that adjusts based on your household income. This approach ensures that families can pay what they can afford while receiving the high-quality care and supervision our camp provides.

Financial Aid: A Commitment to Inclusion

We believe that financial constraints should never prevent a camper from attending camp. That’s why we have a policy of never turning away any camper due to financial needs. Our camperships are available for families who still find the sliding scale fees challenging, and we encourage all camper families to apply.

Collaborating with Support Organizations

To further enhance our financial aid options, we collaborate with various support organizations. Families are encouraged to seek assistance from programs like MHMR, HHSC, and local civic clubs that provide funding for children with disabilities. These organizations can significantly ease the financial burden of camp attendance.

Out-of-Home Respite Services

Additionally, Camp Summit provides out-of-home respite services for families that qualify for specific waiver programs. This service can provide much-needed relief for caregivers while ensuring that children enjoy enriching camp experiences.

Conclusion

At Camp Summit, our commitment to accessibility is unwavering. By offering a sliding scale fee, camperships, and collaboration with local support organizations, we strive to make camp affordable for every family. For more information about our financial assistance options, please visit our website.
