Our camp fee is intended to be nearly all-inclusive, covering
every aspect of the camp program as well as such incidental expenses
as weekly laundry. The only extra charges are for transportation to and
from camp, and purchases from the camp store (whose profits go to a
charity chosen each summer by the campers and counselors).

We have set our fee lower than that of many comparable camps
because we are aware of today’s high costs for education and because
we wish to make our camps available to as broad a range of children as
possible. We believe the fee to be sufficient to ensure the high quality
of leadership, care, and program to which we aspire.

We are able to offer moderate fee reductions to some families
who otherwise might find it difficult to send their children to camp.
Inquiries about this possibility should be made to the Directors, at the

The 2009 Camp Season will open on Sunday, June 28, and close on Tuesday, August 18. Two five- week sessions are available for a limited number of campers; the first is an open-ended session from June 28 to August 1 with the option to stay for the balance of the season, and the second from July 12 to August 18.

The Camp Fee will be $6500 for the full season. The registration should be accompanied by a first payment of $250. A second payment of $4500 is due by May 1, and the balance of $1750 by June 15. The fee for the shorter sessions will be $5700.

A deposit of $60 in the store account should be enough to cover purchases from the camp store and incidental needs.

The trip to camp from the New York City area will be made in buses chartered for our chaperoned party. The round trip fare will be approximately $150. In addition there will be the cost of shipping baggage to and from camp. Those who wish to save this cost may pack the camper's clothing and equipment in two duffel bags, to be sent on the camp bus.

Campers traveling by air can be met at airports in Plattsburgh, NY at no charge; or Burlington, VT or Montreal, Canada for a fee of $75. There is no camp uniform. A list of suggested clothing and equipment is sent to all enrolled.

There are no extra charges for horseback riding, laundry, or the many hiking and canoeing trips out of camp. Work Group girls and boys who choose to attend a pre-camp session starting on Thursday, June 25, will be charged a fee of $150.

The Chief’s Memorial Campership Fund, supported by taxfree
contributions from past and present camp families, campers, and
staff members, is available to a limited number of children whose
financial need is significant. The Fund can pay a substantial portion of
the camp fee. Inquiries or referrals should be made to the following
