About Tiered Pricing

Through our camping ministries, KLC’s mission is to ensure that every child knows that someone sees their worth and potential - just as God sees them. We believe camp is the best place to be, and we want to do everything we can to remove financial barriers.

In 2023, we decided to shift the way that we price our camps. For years, we have set our prices based on what seems to be affordable for most families and have operated our camps at a loss, subsidizing costs through donations and facility rentals in the off-season. In reality, it costs over $700 for a single camper to attend camp for 5 days, meaning that KLC subsidizes almost half of each camper’s registration fees. 

This new tiered pricing system allows families to continue to support KLC while keeping camp accessible to all. When you register a child for camp, you will see three pricing options. The highest tier allows you to pay the full cost of their registration. The 2nd tier represents 80% of the full price, and KLC subsidizes the rest. The 3rd tier is our standard price, representing 65% of the actual cost per camper. 

The pricing is entirely self-selected by you, and there is no difference in program, care, or preference offered based on the price paid. Only our admin staff know how much is paid for each camper - your choice is kept confidential. By paying a less-subsidized fee, more of our funds are able to be directed towards improvements to our property and programming, investing in our staff, and ministry expansion. By paying more for your child’s camp experience, your dollars are supporting camp operations, meaning that donations and off-season revenue will be going directly towards expanding KLC’s capacity for fulfilling our mission.

Financial Assistance

We know that families make many sacrifices to give their kids meaningful opportunities. If the cost of camp feels like a barrier right now, please know that assistance is available. Through the generosity of our camp community, we offer financial assistance to help make camp possible for more families. Our team reviews each request with care and confidentiality.

If our subsidized prices are still out of reach for your family, financial assistance can be applied for through our online registration. These additional subsidies are funded by our Camp Matters fundraising campaign, where donations given to the campaign are dedicated to covering camper fees when they are needed most. 

We are committed to making every effort we can to get every application funded, because we believe that every child is worth investing in. We intentionally fundraise for Camp Matters every year, and will increase our efforts if requests exceed available funding.

Our goal is to make camp possible, not complicated. If you have questions or would like to talk through your situation, we are always happy to chat.

  • Any family who feels that the cost of camp may be a barrier is welcome to apply. Financial assistance exists to help make camp accessible for more kids, and we encourage families to apply if it would make a difference for them.

  • Each request is reviewed individually, and the amount awarded can vary depending on available funds, the number of applications submitted, and how much you indicate you are able top pay. Our goal is to help as many children as possible experience camp.

    Because we receive numerous applications, sponsorships are limited to one camp program per camper per summer.

  • You can apply for financial assistance during the registration process by completing the form on Step 4 labelled “Financial Assistance Request Form”. The application is simple and designed to help us understand how we can best support your family.

  • Yes. All financial assistance requests are handled confidentially by camp leadership. This information is not shared with cabin leaders, staff, or other campers. This applies to those who choose subsidized pricing, as well.

  • Not at all. Campers receiving financial assistance participate in camp exactly the same as every other camper. Our hope is simply that every child has the chance to experience camp and be encouraged in their worth and potential.

  • We do our best to review applications monthly and will contact you once a decision has been made so you can plan accordingly. Please note that we have a very small admin team and as such, there may be delays. Please reach out if you need a response sooner than later.

  • Please reach out to us. Our heart is to help make camp possible whenever we can, and we’re always happy to talk through options with you.

  • Because we believe every child has incredible worth and potential. Camp can be a powerful place for kids to grow in confidence, build friendships, and experience encouragement from caring mentors. Financial assistance is one of the ways our camp community works together to make that opportunity available to more children.
