2023 Dates & Rates
New for 2023!
Our week long camps filled up first and we decided to provide more opportunities for families to register for 1 week (see sessions 1A & 1B and 3A & 3B). We are still offering 2 twelve day sessions which include off-site trips for our older campers.
Flexible Pricing
Camp Big Canoe is offering flexible pricing with 3 choices for our sessions. Every family can choose the level of payment that is right for their situation. The level you choose is voluntary and will in no way influence the experience your children will have at camp, yet it offers the opportunity for families to take an active role in supporting the true cost of their child’s camp experience. Only office staff will be aware of the rate choice, for billing purposes.
Option A is the traditionally subsidized rate, Option C is the rate that is more representative of the true cost of camp, while option B is the mid-point. We recognize that Option A is still difficult for some families to cover, so camperships will continue to be available.
