Tiered Pricing

Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, Mud Camp offers a voluntary four-tier fee program.  You choose the rate that best suits your needs.  No matter your choice in tier, your camper will receive the same camp experience.

Please note that Extra Camp (extended care) is available and those prices are not reflected in the tiered pricing.

  • MUD Camp+ $350 (Overnight - $750): Our highest tier that covers the cost of Camp, helps other families pay for Camp, and includes a special day on Saturday April 12th where your camper and family can come spend a day at Camp. Get to know some of your camper’s counselors, see what a day in the life of Camp looks like, and even parents can go down the waterslide or traverse down the zip-lines!

  • MUD Tier $300 (Overnight - $700): Combining both water and dirt, the MUD tier payment covers the cost of camp for not just your camper, but also helps cover scholarships for those in need!

  • Dirt Tier $250 (Overnight - $600): Dirt is what makes the Mud in MUD Camp! This price is closest to the true cost of camp.

  • Water Tier $200 (Overnight - $500): Water is what keeps the campers hydrated throughout the hot summer days, and we would not have mud without water! This slightly subsidized price is for families who need a bit of financial assistance and is made possible through the generosity of individuals and congregations.

  • EXTENDED CARE: $70 - Longer hours for working parents.

    To help maintain the safety of our campers and staff, we will have a limited number of Extra Camp spaces available each session.

    Drop off as early as 7:30 am and pick up available until 5:30 pm.

    Extended Care Campers get EXTRA camp.  Each EXTRA Camper gets a 3:30 snack and then a different camp activity each day.  Your camper will get EXTRA lake, EXTRA mud, EXTRA games and EXTRA CAMP!

    Please note that the pick up time is until 5:30PM. You will be charged a $5 fee per minute for any pickups after this time.
