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.

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

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.

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


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.

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.

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