Tuition
We do our best to keep camp tuition as reasonable as possible. In fact at less than $100 per day, we are in the bottom 20% of what overnight camps charge nationally. According to one article, the average cost of an overnight camp in America in 2023 was $448.53 per day ($5,382.36 for a 12 day program like ours).
This year we have modestly increased tuition to help cover the increasing costs of our camping program and to give our summer staff a much deserved raise in their weekly stipend. Below is the updated tuition for each respective program:
- Full 2-Week Summer Camp Sessions: $1,100
- Iconography Camp: $800
- Session 1, 1-Week Option: $750
- Arch Week: TBD
Refundable Medical Fee
There will also be a $50 Medical Fee applied to each registration at checkout. Don't be scared! That fee will be refunded if all medical information is completed by April 30th.
-
Medical information includes: online Medical Form Section, Medical Exam Form, additional forms as needed (FARE Food Allergy Form, Medication Approval Forms). If a camper is unable to have their physician form filled out by the April 30th deadline, the family MUST email healthcenter@avcamp.org to inform our medical staff that this form will be filled out and turned in later, in order to receive a refund of the $50 medical fee. There will no longer be late fees for late medical information.
Financial Assistance
We understand that many cannot afford the cost of summer camp, but please know that we will never turn away a camper because of money! There are lots of opportunities out there to help cover the cost of camp.
- Ask your parish priest if your church has any funds to help - including the scholarship funds available to every parish from the Order of Saint Ignatius
- Host a fundraiser at your parish to help send kids to camp. Some ideas are - St. Matthew (N. Royalton, OH) hosts a chili cook-off, St. Matthew (Wasilla, AK) has a special coffee machine every week at coffee hour.
- Fill out AV Camp's Financial Assistance Request form on our website. All forms are due by February 28.
No Byzantine Chant Camp
Due to a lack of demand, we will not be having Byzantine Chant Camp this summer. We encourage anyone interested in learning Byzantine Chant to check out our training videos, register for Sacred Music Institute, and explore the many Byzantine chant instructors who offer remote learning opportunities.
Deadlines
February 28 - Financial Assistance Request Forms
All other deadlines are April 30th!
-
This includes: full tuition payment, online medical form section, medical exam form (or an email to healthcenter@avcamp.org informing us that it will be done later), additional forms as needed (FARE Food Allergy Form, Medication Approval Forms), and travel information.
For Those With Food Allergies
A note from a doctor is required for all food allergies, medications, and vitamins. The camp nurses will not be able to distribute medications or vitamins, and kitchen staff will not be able to prepare specialty food for campers with food allergies, without a note from a doctor.
Same Place, Original Time
Iconography camp is being moved back to the first week of Session 3.
Camper Parent Handbook
For more information and to prepare for camp, please be sure to review our updated Camper Parent Handbook which will be uploaded to our website in January.
