OPTION PRICING SYSTEM
Campers often say Camp Olson YMCA is one of the most important places in their life. We recognize how vital camp is to the social, physical, and emotional development of children.
Because of this, Camp Olson YMCA has instituted tiered or “option” pricing to ensure that families can find a place for Camp in their budget and assist us in navigating our increased cost to operate. Please consider selecting the highest tier that your family can afford to allow YMCA Camp Olson to utilize this funding to ensure the quality of each camper’s experience. All campers receive the same experience no matter what they pay, and their selections are confidential.
*Option A: Most accurately reflects the true and actual cost of operating camp, including wear and tear on equipment and depreciation.
*Option B: A partially subsidized rate.
*Option C: Our historically standard rate which does not reflect the true cost of operation. This rate is subsidized even greater through the generosity of our donors.
(Please participate at the level that is right for your family.)
