Camperships and Camp Fees

Access to camp for all campers is important to everyone here at Camp High Hopes. To this end, all campers receive an 80% reduction in camp fees, thanks to the generosity of our donors, to ensure our fees are comparable to those at any camp. For example, the camp fee of $598 for a Sleep Away has been reduced from $2990. Knowing that this remaining cost may still represent challenges to some of our campers, additional financial assistance is available to is available to assist with up to 2/3 of the reduced camp fee, in the case of a Sleep Away session, a camper may receive $400 in additional assistance, meaning you can attend a week of camp for less than $200. for more information, indicate that you are seeking financial assistance when registering for a camp session or call our office. Camperships are dependent upon availability of funds and are limited to 1 campership per season.
