Each age group has different weeks. Register for a week, according to the grade your child will enter in Fall 2025.
Because we have many campers that would like to attend camp and want to give as many as possible an opportunity to come, please note that campers may only attend one week of camp.
We also offer Blast Day Camp for kids entering 1st-6th grade where they can attend as many weeks as they’d like!
Why Tiered Pricing?
To meet the goals of developing and expanding the ministry of Black Rock, while also keeping Summer Camp affordable for as many people as possible, we are introducing a three-tiered system that allows families to choose the price that best fits their financial situation.
All campers receive the same experience regardless of what tier they pay, and all families are free to choose the option that works best for them.
Understanding Our Pricing
In the past, we have charged flat rates for camp that were subsidized and did not reflect the full cost of our programs. The new system still provides the standard low cost option, while also presenting the actual costs of camp for those who can afford it. The price you choose remains confidential, only known by those who handle registration and payments.
Please note that this pricing system is separate from our Sponsorship Program. To find out if you are eligible for sponsorship, email us or call us at (717) 529-3232.
Tier 3: True Cost
In addition to the expenses of running camp, this rate reflects the costs of maintaining facilities, grounds, and equipment as well as expanding camp to provide new activities and experiences. By choosing this option when registering, you are joining in developing the ministry of Black Rock for future generations.
Tier 2: Subsidized Cost
This rate is closer to covering the expenses of Summer Camp at cost, but results in less revenue than is needed to further develop our camp and programs. Additionally, as inflation continues to raise the costs for many aspects of camp (food, utilities, etc.), choosing this option when registering helps donations to Summer Camp go further in other needed areas.
Tier 1: Partially Sponsored Cost
Black Rock does not want finances to be a barrier for youth to come and experience all that camp has to offer. Rather than raising all prices significantly, we will keep this rate as low as possible even though it does not fully account for the cost of our camps and programs. We can offer this option thanks to donors who share our vision to keep camp affordable and accessible to as many families as possible.
