I know they obviously dont all charge the same.
But can you tell me how much the ones youre familiar with cost per half?
Im seeing that many many people send their daughters and sons, and im trying to think for the future of its something we can budget in, or try to do something cheaper.
Thanks!

ETA- Sleepaway camp

The mo camp we send to is $4300 per half.

It is not at all a fancy camp.

Depends on what type of camp. Chassidish camps are cheaper than other camps. Chassidish camps are around $2500/ $3000 a summer and the girls from their own school get great discounts.
Like if your kids go to Satmer school and Satmer camp you can be paying $1500 for the summer.

I think the going rate for yeshivish sleepaway camps is around $2300-$2500 per half. I know of one that's cheaper, closer to $1900-$2000, but that's not typical.

It ends up a lot more if you buy into the lifestyle of "needing" to get certain things for camp. Maybe this is just for girls, I only have girls who went. New linen, specific clothing brands etc....

We shop at target and kohl's, the discount frum stores for skirts, dollar store for shower caddies etc... and send old ratty linen (it's camp after all!). But if you "must" buy new linen, Hardtail tees and skirts etc... those expenses can add up to more than the cost of camp!
The only thing they do need is a lot of clothing since they don't do laundry very often and they're getting dirty in camp. But if you think ahead then you're spending $12-$18 on long sleeve tees (in the winter!) at target instead of $70 at the frum stores [my daughters are already in ladies clothing, was cheaper when I could fit them into target kids size xl]

Wow! Sticker shock.
One of my last kids went to camp as a mother's helper. It cost $500. This was a camp where the mother's helpers really got to participate in most of the day.

Most litvish/yeshivish camps are approx $2500 for half a summer. The only camp that is a lot cheaper is Ruach Chaim (boys second half) and Bnos Ruach Chaim/BRC (girls first half) at about $1,400 for half a summer.

Fees? The only additional fee for my daughter's camp is luggage and you can drive your daughter up if you want to save the $100
