Camp costs can add up quickly, especially if you have more than one child or need to fill most of the summer with camps and after camp care to accommodate your work schedule.

Camp costs vary by location, but usually start at $200 per week per child and can exceed $1000 per week for specialty, overnight camps.

The lowest cost camps tend to be offered by schools, city recreation departments, churches, YMCAs and other non-profit community groups. As expected, day camps are usually less expensive than overnight camps.

By contrast, specialty camps, such as computer, horseback riding, or elite sport camps, are often expensive due to equipment and staffing requirements. However, some camps offer scholarships or discounts for students who are unable to afford the full cost.
