Three-Tier Pricing System
All kids need the opportunity of camp, and our tiered pricing is one of the ways we strive to get more kids outdoors, active, and of course, have ridiculous amounts of fun! Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, Bishopswood is offering a voluntary three-tier pricing schedule. You may choose the tier that is most suitable for your family.
Campers needing financial assistance are encouraged to contact their local priest. Most congregations have scholarships available. If you would like information about scholarship help, please contact the Director.
* This rate will allow us to further develop our staff, perform much needed upgrades and maintenance to our facilities, and ensure that Bishopswood will continue to be the best camp ever.
