Camper Fees

Gales Creek Camp is proud to remain one of the lowest-priced summer camps in the United States. In fact, according the American Camp Association, in the U.S. the average cost for a week of camp is $865, and that includes non-medical camps.  While the true cost of a week of camp is almost $1,500 per camper, we work hard to keep fees to a minimum—it's integral to our mission and vision. We fundraise year-around to keep camp fees as low as possible so all children with type 1 diabetes have access to a great summer camp experience regardless of their family's financial situation.

Gales Creek Camp is committed to erasing barriers to camp. Families and kids with a type 1 have enough to worry about. To ensure no camper is denied access to camp based on financial need, we offer financial aid, including pay-what-you-can camperships, for families who need them.
