Sliding Scale 2026
We are offering a sliding scale tuition to make camp affordable to as many families as possible, while still operating a high-quality camp for our small scale. The pricing structure you chose has no impact on your child’s experience at Mountain Friends Camp, and is confidential beyond a few key staff/officers. We trust families to use our community's core values including Integrity, Community, Equality and Stewardship when choosing how much to pay.
- Full Tuition: this reflects our real operating costs for camp. If every family paid at this level, we would break even for 2026. We rely on families who can afford to pay this full tuition to keep camp affordable for those receiving discounts and camperships. Any amount given over the Full Tuition cost will be recognized as a tax deductible donation.
- Supported Cost A: This is a 20% discount rate, funded in part through Intermountain Yearly Meeting and annual fundraising.
- Supported Cost B: This is a 40% discount rate, funded in part through Intermountain Yearly Meeting and annual fundraising.
- Camperships: Additional campership funds available on a first come-first-served basis, for families who need additional financial assistance to afford camp. These spots are limited, however our goal is always to raise enough campership funds to cover all needs.
