What is Claggett’s “tiered pricing” structure?
Families confidentially choose from three price tiers based on ability to pay — all offering the same full camp experience:
- Subsidized Rate: This is the historical subsidized rate of summer camp, made possible by Claggett’s operating fund and contributions from individual and group donors who believe in the mission of summer camp. This rate covers lodging, meals, and a portion of program costs.
- Direct Cost Rate: The direct cost rate more closely represents the cost of operating camp for the week of a camper’s experience, including lodging, meals, staffing, and materials.
- True Cost Rate: The true cost rate more closely represents the total financial cost of operating camp, including all listed under direct costs as well as maintenance, insurance, utilities, and more.
A non-refundable deposit of $100 holds each spot, regardless of tier chosen.
2026 Rates will be published as soon as they are available.
