The registration fee for one week of camp (Sunday evening through Friday) is $110 per camper. The cost for Angel Tree families is only $60 per camper due to a scholarship provided by Angel Tree. This includes round-trip transportation, 16 meals, daily snacks, lodging in air-conditioned rooms, and all activities. The actual cost to Camp Dynamite is $300 per camper. Because of generous individuals and organizations, we are able to offer the reduced rate.
