Tiered Pricing
All youth should be able to experience Bible camp, regardless of a family’s financial abilities. Sugar Creek offers voluntary, 3 tiered pricing to better meet needs. The actual price of a traditional week of camp is approximately $800/week, far lower than the national average thanks to donations, help from churches, amazing volunteers and more. You pay what you can afford while the difference will be met by donations.
Summer 2025 Tiered Prices:
Tier 1: $795 – closest to covering the actual cost of your experience
Tier 2: $595 – subsidized for families needing the option to make camp more affordable
Tier 3: $495 – reflects more subsidies from churches, fundraisers, and camp supporters
Please consider selecting the highest price you can afford, to help more kids receive scholarship money for camp. Families with three or more children attending camp can also receive a significant discount for each child after the first two. The tier selected will not affect your child’s camp experience. Costs for some programs, like Riverboaters or Explorers, have a set rate due to certain cost factors.
“Camperships” are often available at your home congregation; contact your church for info. For additional Camperships, please fill out an application form. With God’s help, your kids can have this meaningful adventure!
