Tuition & Fees
Belknap’s non-profit mission is to be affordable to any family who wishes to enroll in Camp. In an effort to maintain our mission and to minimize our rate increases, Camp uses a tiered tuition.
Camp Belknap is committed to making the overnight camp experience accessible for as many young boys and families as possible. The true cost for a camper to attend Belknap for a two-week session is $3275. There are real costs associated with operating a non-profit camp and we rely on the generosity of our annual donors to help moderate the cost of tuition each year. The families with the ability to pay and select the Tier 1 tuition, allow Belknap to stay true to our mission and provide camp to boys of all socio-economic backgrounds. Thank you for choosing the tuition level that best reflects what your family is able to pay.
In addition to the tiered tuition outlined below, Belknap offers both partial and full scholarships to camper families in need. Please check the scholarship box in the application at the time of registering if additional assistance is needed beyond what is offered through the Tier 2 discounted fees. Camper acceptance will not be based on financial assistance.
All tuition and fees may be paid in full, or with a payment plan. All questions should be directed to admincb@campbelknap.org.

Community Partners
Camp Belknap works closely with a variety of community organizations, including schools and direct service groups.
Community partners are aligned with our mission, so a camper coming through one of these partnerships is supported year-round, which further enhances their leadership and character development.
Community partners help make the Belknap experience more accessible by helping us reach a broader spectrum of communities. Our partners: identify deserving boys; support them through the application process; and assist them with preparations for a summer under the pines.
