Tiered Pricing

For all camp sessions, we offer a voluntary three-tiered pricing model based on the needs of our families. This program is completely confidential and in no way affects the quality of the camp experience. Price selection is done strictly on an honor system. If you can afford to pay the full fee (Tier 1), please do so. If you cannot, simply select the price which is right for your family’s circumstances. You’ll be given the option to choose your rate during the registration process.*

Tier 1 represents the actual cost of camp operations, including long-term wear, tear and depreciation. If you are able to pay this rate, please do so.

Tier 2 reflects the basic cost of attending camp including food, staff, program supplies and limited maintenance expenses.

Tier 3 is a subsidized rate, funded by donations to the greatest extent possible, and provided for families whose children would not otherwise be able to attend camp.

Thanks to a generous donation to the Kansas 4-H Foundation the LIT & CIT program can be attended at no cost. Please complete this Letter of Interest to receive instructions on how to register!

For additional questions about registration or financial assistance please contact us at (785) 257-3221.

and zipline.

Leaders-in-Training (LIT)

Ages 14-16 (Rising HS sophomores & juniors)

This immersive experience empowers youth to find their voice and transition into leaders ready to serve their communities. Teens participate in camp activities and challenges while also learning leadership development and civic engagement skills. During the week teens bond and find a sense of belonging through teambuilding, leadership skill development, and generosity. 

Counselors-in-Training (CIT)

Ages 16-17 (Rising HS seniors) 

Teens ages 16 to 17-year, especially rising 12th graders, come to camp as part of our Counselors in Training (CIT) Camp. They will be given responsibility over a group of younger campers from breakfast to bedtime. These teens will receive camper care training and counselor experience, but they will also have “camp” time with their peers built into each day. 

The CIT program is a fun and wonderful way to explore what it means to be a beginning leader and a mentor and is a good fit for young people who may want to explore a career in education, early childhood care or other related fields. The program also covers important skills such as learning how to give and receive feedback, set and achieve goals, resolve conflict, plan and lead activities and build confidence. Time in this program also looks good on college applications. 

Being a CIT is an opportunity to provide leadership to younger campers while also having their own community and camp experiences, all with the mentorship and supervision of our youth development staff.
