*The $95 ‘Program Fee’ is a fee charged to each day camper using a waiver in order to cover a portion of his or her expenses. There is approximately $190 of program expense for each week of day camp for each day camper that is not reimbursable through the Level One, Individual Options, and Self Waivers. This expense is comprised of several items such as non-direct care staff (including lifeguards, high ropes instructors, and nurses), supplies (such as daily arts/crafts projects, journals, first aid equipment) and the daily lunches and snacks. Scholarship funds may be available to cover the program fee for qualifying campers.
