How much you pay for sleepaway camp

[Anonymous]

The best camps in Mains, VT, NH and upstate NY are around $9-10k for 3.5 weeks! Ugh.

12K for 7 weeks. 18K for the other one at SN camp for 7 weeks

Tell me you want to brag about how much money your husband makes without telling me.

We've done a bunch of different Girl Scout camps and they're much, much less expensive. My daughter always had a great time.

My daughters did GS camp and found it too rustic. I agreed after seeing the set up - so many uncomfortable beds squished together, dark cabin, mosquito netting, toilet might as well be an outhouse, etc.

That's really cheap! Is it subsidized by a religious organization? Do they have enough well paid staff?

$7000 for 4 weeks. It was substantially less when he first went pre-covid.

2000 for a two week session. It's in NC.

It has all gone up a lot post-Covid. But, it can still be cheaper to fly your DC to another state than go to camp near DC. Head West and it is often cheaper than East Coast also.

$10k for 7 weeks for one kid
$13k for 6.5 weeks for the other

It is definitely a luxury good AND my kids love it.

This was Virginia 4H camp, it’s connected to the state / VA Tech in some capacity so maybe it’s subsidized? DD went two years in a row and said it was pretty good.

About $1500- $2000 for a 3-week session (cost has varied slightly each year), but that’s with a lot of very generous financial aid. I love her camp and am so grateful that they’ve made camp a possibility for her.

I paid a kid $100 to bully my kid. Best investment of my life.
