Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, Camp Dart-Lo has instituted a voluntary 3-tier pricing program for our summer Day Camp programs. All children will have the same experience no matter which tier a family is able to pay. The tier selected by the family will be kept confidential. Please take a moment to look at the tier descriptions and choose the tier that is most suitable for your family.

Tier 1 is based on the true cost of camp programs, leadership training, operations and maintenance at Camp Dart-Lo. If you are able to pay this amount please do so. Thank you.

Tier 2 is a partially reduced rate from the full cost of camp that will help families who just cannot afford the full cost of the camp program.

Tier 3 is our historical fee. This financially supported fee is available for families whose children would not be able to attend camp at Tier 1 or Tier 2 rate.
