Week 2 - Pioneer Trip Camp (Overnight Adventure Camp)
Description
This session is for 9th-12th graders next year and runs from Sunday to Friday. It includes a two-night canoeing and camping trip.

Campers will have a fantastic week camping at Camp Chickagami and another lovely campground nearby! They’ll be cozy in our tented Pioneer Units, featuring screened, enclosed platforms nestled in the woods, along with spacious tents. Throughout the week, campers will have the chance to explore the beautiful surrounding woods and will embark on a fun two-night off-site camping and canoe adventure mid-week.

During this exciting trip, campers will not only canoe and camp but also learn valuable wilderness skills along the way. With our friendly staff, they’ll explore their faith through storytelling and connect with nature in meaningful ways. It’s a wonderful chance for campers to develop leadership skills, gain some independence, and create lifelong friendships that they’ll cherish for years to come!

Check-in is from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. on your session start date, and check-out starts at 1:00 p.m. on your session end date. While we’re working hard to prepare for your arrival and ensure everything runs smoothly, please note that we can’t accommodate early arrivals or departures unless we’ve arranged that together in advance.

Youth Camp Tiered Pricing
Tier 1
Tier 1: This tier most closely reflects the true cost of camp. It includes staffing costs, site costs (insurance, upkeep, licensing fees), supplies, and much more. This is how much we would have to charge for camp if we did not receive grant funding or donations.		+ $1,000.00
Tier 2
Tier 2: This tier more closely resembles the cost of camp if we receive grants and other funding sources.		+ $650.00
Tier 3
Tier 3: This tier is what we have charged historically. It is partially subsidized for those who can pay a little more but cannot afford the actual cost of camp.		+ $400.00
Tier 4
Tier 4: This tier is a subsidized rate and does not reflect the true cost of summer camp

We understand this pricing model is still not fully accessible for some families. We can provide no-questions-asked 100% scholarships. You can find a need-based application form within the registration portal if you need additional scholarship funds.		+ $325.00
