Camp Sessions
Summer Camp Rates
Why Tiered Pricing?
Despite rising costs our rates have been set at approximately $100 per person/per day for over a decade, subsidized through the support of the Episcopal Church in Western Louisiana and generous donors, in support of our mission.
The tiered pricing model invites families to contribute according to their ability, while ensuring every child can experience the life-changing week at Camp Hardtner. It also allows us to allocate scholarship funds more effectively, expanding access to even more campers.
When registering, select the tier that best suits your family’s financial situation. This system operates on the honor principle. Every camper enjoys the same rich experience, regardless of the rate chosen. If Tier 3 is out of reach, further scholarship assistance is available. Families with multiple children may use this system for a self-applied discount.
We are deeply grateful to our donors and churches for making it possible to offer these rates and provide scholarships! This voluntary program allows families to play a direct role in supporting the true costs of camp while ensuring every child has the opportunity to grow, explore, and thrive at Camp Hardtner.
Tier 1 – True Cost Rate
This rate more accurately reflects the full cost of camp, including direct expenses and additional factors such as deferred maintenance, insurance, and utilities. By choosing Tier 1, you help us maximize the impact of our donor support, allowing us to stretch scholarship funding to more families and to invest in future improvements.
Tier 2 – Direct Cost Rate
This option reflects only the direct costs of camp, including program expenses, meals, summer staff, and administrative operations.
Tier 3 – Subsidized Rate
This is the subsidized rate in line with our historical pricing. While this rate is below the true cost of camp, it helps make camp more accessible to families. This reduced rate is made possible through generous contributions from individuals and churches who value the transformative experience Camp Hardtner offers.
