Financial Aid Information

Gales Creek Camp is committed to ensuring that no camper will ever be denied admission to camp based on an inability to pay all or part of the fees. All campers are subsidized about one-half the cost of camp by the Gales Creek Camp Foundation. Many campers also solicit financial aid from local charities and service organizations like the Lions Clubs, Rotary International, Kiwanis, Eagles, or Elks. Others campers crowdfund their fee using our web tools (find them below).

Financial aid is also available through the Gales Creek Camp Foundation's Campership Program. You must be registered for camp in order to apply for financial aid. 

If you are concerned about the financial part of sending your child to camp, please consider the options below. Call or email our office at any time if you need assistance (contact info is at the bottom of the page). Our goal is to get every kid with type 1 diabetes to camp, and we will work with you to make this happen!
