Tuition

Voluntary Tiered Pricing

We value affordability and strive to keep the cost of camp low to families, while still operating a high-quality program. Friends Camp has a voluntary, three-tiered pricing structure that lets you pick the price you will pay for camp — without any difference in program experience. This is our way of making Friends Camp accessible to as many families as possible. Tuition assistance through tier B and tier C (see below), subsidized in part by annual fundraising, helps make camp more affordable for families who cannot afford the full price of camp. We also offer additional campership funds based on need, up to the total cost of camp. Click here to learn more about camperships at Friends Camp. It is our goal to make camp as accessible as possible to campers and families who want to attend Friends Camp.

THIS TIERED PRICING SYSTEM IS VOLUNTARY AND IN NO WAY INFLUENCES ADMISSION OR THE EXPERIENCE YOUR CHILD WILL RECEIVE AT FRIENDS CAMP.

Deposits

Deposit for a 2-Week Camp Session (per child) is $300.00 ($150 for 1 week sessions)

Deposit for families applying for Campership Funds is $100.00 ($50 for 1 week sessions)

The deposit is refundable, less a $50 service fee, if requested no later than the end of the day April 1.

Full tuition for all camp sessions is due by the end of the day on June 1. If full tuition is not received by that date (less any campership awarded), campers may lose their reserved places unless alternative arrangements have been made with the Camp Director in advance.

Cancellations / Refunds

Camper fees received in excess of the deposit can be refunded if a camper withdraws from a session, but the request must be made no later than thirty days in advance of the start of the session, except in exceptional circumstances as determined by the Camp Director. If a camper withdraws or is sent home from camp after the beginning of the session for any reason, including homesickness, illness, injury, or dismissal, the tuition is not refundable.

Other Fees

Friends Camp tuition includes all meals as well as laundry (for 2-week sessions, only). Our camp store Magpie is open only on opening and closing day of camp sessions, and merchandise prices range from $15- $45. There is no camp store open during camper sessions or any reason for campers to need spending money.

Hiking Adventure Trips
Friends Camp offers special 1-overnight hiking and camping trips during teen sessions at additional cost, which you can sign up for through the registration portal.

Transportation to Camp
Nearly all families will drive their campers or arrange carpooling to and from Friends Camp.

For 2025, Friends Camp is able to provide transportation to and from the Augusta Concord Coach Bus Station on the opening and closing days of some of our teen sessions- Rising Leaders, Rustin, and Fell. The address for the bus station is Transportation Ctr, 9 Industrial Dr, Augusta, ME 04330. Please coordinate your travel plans with the camp office as soon as possible. We charge $25 per camper to transport campers to or from the bus station.
