We know that many families are navigating changing financial circumstances, and we want to make sure camp remains accessible for everyone. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a tiered tuition system designed to meet families where they are, while ensuring every camper continues to enjoy the same meaningful, high-quality experience.


Families are encouraged to choose the tier that best fits their circumstances—all selections are completely confidential.


Tuition Tiers


  • Pay It Forward – Make a tax-deductible donation to sponsor another camper while covering your own tuition.


  • Standard Rate – Covers the full cost of your camper’s participation.


  • Reduced Rate – Receive a 25% discount for families needing some financial relief.


  • Assistance Needed – For families requiring greater support; scholarship application and income verification are required.


Note: Family Camp offers two options only — Standard Rate or Assistance Needed.


Why Tiered Tuition Matters


Camp is more than just a summer activity—it’s a place where kids build confidence, make lifelong friends, and experience moments that stay with them forever. With this new tuition system, financial barriers won’t keep any child from the magic of Brainy Ridge.


The Importance of Accessibility in Camp


Accessibility is crucial for ensuring that all children can participate in camp activities. By implementing a tiered tuition system, we are actively working to remove financial obstacles. This initiative allows families to choose a payment option that aligns with their current situation.


Building a Supportive Community


Creating a supportive community is at the heart of our camp philosophy. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joys of camp. The tiered tuition system fosters inclusivity and ensures that no child is left behind due to financial constraints.


Encouraging Generosity


The Pay It Forward option encourages generosity among families. By choosing this tier, families can contribute to the camp experience of another child. This not only helps those in need but also strengthens the community bond among campers and their families.


Take the Next Step


Families can select their tuition tier when registering for summer camp. If you’re interested in scholarships or assistance, start your application today to secure your child’s spot.


Together, we continue to create a camp community where every camper can thrive, learn, and belong.


Conclusion


In conclusion, our tiered tuition system is designed to ensure that every child has the opportunity to enjoy the camp experience. We understand that financial situations can vary, and we are committed to making camp accessible for all. By choosing the tier that best fits your family’s needs, you are taking an important step toward ensuring that your child can participate in the magic of camp.


We look forward to welcoming your family to Brainy Ridge, where unforgettable memories are made, and friendships last a lifetime.
