Cost and Payment
How it works:
We believe all children should have access to creative programming. Tuition is offered on an honor-system sliding scale. The Standard Tuition reflects the real cost of running camp. If that amount doesn’t work for your family, please choose the tier that feels comfortable — no additional information required. Paying at a higher tier supports families paying less.
Payment: Within 24 hours of filling out the registration form, you will receive an email confirming your child’s enrollment. A link to the payment portal will be provided within!
Use this tool get estimate your family’s suggested tuition. If you’d like to see the full range of suggested amounts, we’ve provided them in the image block at the bottom of the page.
