Why Three Prices?

Recognizing that families have different abilities to pay, Ferncliff has a voluntary three-tier fee program. You choose the tier that is most suitable for your family. No matter what tier you choose, the amenities, activities, and camp experience are the same. It’s a way to make camp more affordable for more families.

Tier I is our historically subsidized rate and does not reflect the full cost of operating camp programs.

Tier II is our partially subsidized rate for those who choose to pay a little more.

Tier III more closely reflects the actual cost of camp, including wear and tear of buildings and grounds.

*Day Camp Discovery – All the fun of Day Camp, but campers spend Thursday night in the cabins just like overnight campers and participate in closing programs. It’s a great way to try overnight for the first time.
