The 1st year they went up on the cost, they took the kids to Kentucky Kingdom and bowling, skating, etc. I understood why they had to have the extra money. Last year, they didn't do any of that and still raised the price....why does it cost so much??????

Pastor Gary wrote:$99 for Monday until Friday Noon + a $5 snack card.
Our rental costs for the facility take $32 off the top (a nice Baptist Conference Facility); our food cost and kitchen use fees add about another $30-$35 per camper; that leaves about 1/3 for overhead... insurance, supplies, general administrative expenses.
We are a bargain in Hawaii. Other denominational camps cost more --- some LOTS more.
Here's the kicker: we charge staff $49 for the privilege of working! That covers the out-of-pocket cost for the room-fees and some food cost.
