Dates & Fees
Season Information
The 2011 Camp Season will open on Sunday, June 26, and close on Tuesday, August 16. Two five-week sessions are available for a limited number of campers; the first is an open-ended session from June 26 to July 30 with the option to stay for the balance of the season, and the second from July 10 to August 16.
The Camp Fee will be $7000 for the full season. The registration should be accompanied by a first payment of $500. A second payment of $4500 is due by May 1, and the balance of $2000 is due by June 15. The fee for the shorter sessions will be $6000.
A deposit of $60 in the store account should be enough to cover purchases from the camp store and incidental needs.
The trip to camp from the New York City area will be made in buses chartered for our chaperoned party. The round trip fare will be approximately $150. In addition there will be the cost of shipping baggage to and from camp. Those wishing to save this cost may pack the camper’s clothing and equipment in two duffel bags, to be sent on the camp bus.
Campers traveling by air can be met at airports in Plattsburgh, NY at no charge; or Burlington, VT or Montreal, Canada for a fee of $75.
There is no camp uniform. A list of suggested clothing and equipment can be found here, and will be sent along with the Parent Handbook and health form information in the early spring to all enrolled.
There are no extra charges for horseback riding, laundry, or the many hiking and canoeing trips out of camp. Work Group girls and boys who choose to attend a pre-camp session starting on Thursday, June 24, will be charged a fee of $150.
Fee and Campership Information
Our camp fee is intended to be nearly all-inclusive, covering every aspect of the camp program as well as such incidental expenses as weekly laundry. The only extra charges are for transportation to and from camp, and purchases from the camp store.
We have set our fee lower than that of many comparable camps because we are aware of today’s high costs for education and because we wish to make our camps available to as broad a range of children as possible. We believe the fee to be sufficient to ensure the high quality of leadership, care, and program to which we aspire.
We are able to offer moderate fee reductions to some families who otherwise might find it difficult to send their children to camp. Inquiries about this possibility should be made to the Directors, or to:

Chief’s Campership Fund
The Chief’s Memorial Campership Fund, supported by tax free contributions from past and present camp families, campers, and staff members, is available to a limited number of children whose financial need is substantial.
