Discounts and Scholarships

It is our desire to make camp affordable. Several discounts are available for Highland Summer Camps that reflect our partnership with families and the church. We recognize that families may still need additional resources in order for their children to attend camp, and the scholarship program meets that need.

We also offer incentives for everyone who registers early or invites a friend to come to camp for the first time.

Sibling Discount

$50 off all camps for siblings after the first child registers! Example: First child's tuition is $430; each additional child's tuition is reduced to $380. This should happen automatically when you register, but if the sibling discount doesn't show up on your account for some reason, please contact the registrar for assistance.

Multiple Session Discount

For campers who attend multiple sessions in the same year, we offer a $50 discount on the second session, similar to the sibling discount. This discount needs to be applied manually by Highland staff; it will not automatically appear when you register online. Usually the registrar notices campers who are registered for multiple sessions and adds the discount prior to sending out the confirmation emails, but if we miss you, please mention it to us so we can provide you the discount.

LIT Program "Discount"

If you have applied and been approved to participate in the LIT Program, you may request that your stipend for the LIT service weeks be applied to the fees for any week of camp you are also attending (for example, Navigators Camp, which is required for LIT participants). This is optional; you must contact the registrar to request it.

Church Match Program Discounts

Highland Summer Camp partners with all interested churches to offer a discount to campers in their congregations. The churches determine how much they can contribute to the camper fees for children in their congregation, and Highland adds in an additional discount that is 50% of the church's part, up to $50 per camper. Contact the Highland Youth Office to see if your church already participates. If your church doesn't currently participate, you're invited to start a conversation with Highland and your church about joining the program! Find more information for interested churches here.

Summer Camp Scholarships

Full or partial scholarships

Anyone who wishes to attend camp but feels limited by finances is encouraged to apply for a scholarship. It is our desire that every child who wants to attend camp has the opportunity to do so, regardless of financial circumstances. We are committed to work with parents, churches, and our own scholarship funds to assist. Individuals may request a full scholarship (covering all but the deposit) or a partial scholarship, depending on what that individual family needs. Download a Scholarship Application or contact the Highland Youth Office for more information. Scholarships are available through the regular generosity of Highland donors and through memorial funds in memory of Chad Bowman, Charles & Rhoda Hertzler, Matthew Trissel, Jessica Sager, Catarina Trissel, Everett Suter, and Cindie Williams.

Other Incentives

Our registration incentives give you fun reasons to apply early and refer others to camp.
