We are excited to be planning summer 2024! We look forward to welcoming new and old faces to camp and expect it to be another wonderful season.  We have already begun meeting with new families but still have room in most cabins for a few new campers. As we begin to open enrollment and hire staff, we have been forced to review our finances. Camp has not been immune to the increase in costs for services (e.g., food, fuel, van rentals, staff) that have affected us all at home.  While we hope that inflation will continue to slow, we, like other camps, must unfortunately increase our tuition for the coming summer.

Killooleet has always tried to keep costs low. Camp has been working on diversity, equity and inclusion for decades and we are committed to continuing to do this.  Alumni are also important to us and we want former campers to be able to send their children and grandchildren to camp. We are thankful for the Seeger Bartlett Foundation and American Camp Association Campership programs, who we have worked with for years and they have helped many families send their children to camp.  However, they cannot make up the difference between the true cost of camp and what we have recently charged for tuition.

According to our calculations, in order to cover costs without reducing the quality or variety of activities, we need to raise tuition to $13,000. We recognize that this would make camp unaffordable for some families, including some of our returning campers.  Therefore, we have decided to charge $12,500. Both figures are below or in line with what many full-season summer camps are charging.  We are asking, though, that if you can afford to pay the full tuition you do so. This will make it easier for camp to continue to run as normally as possible this coming summer. Financial aid and payment plans are available. To request aid or a payment plan, please contact Kate and create a tuition plan.

First time campers may choose to only commit to the month of July, (June 29 - July 30) with the option to stay for the full summer. For those that only stay for a month, tuition is $8600.
