PRICING AND SUBSIDIES
 
At Camp Woody Acres, we wholeheartedly believe that camp should be a joyful experience for everyone. We know that financial challenges can sometimes make attending summer camp feel out of reach, and we want to assure you that we’re here to help. When we set our prices, we carefully consider various factors, including the costs of running the camp, the options available in Newfoundland, and our commitment as a non-profit organization. Your ability to participate means the world to us, and we want to support you in any way we can.
 
That’s why this year, we have taken steps to lower our costs to make camp more affordable. We also offer a “pay as you can” option until July 1, to further ease any financial strain.
 
As a Mission Church, we consider ourselves fortunate to subsidize many camp expenses, including staffing, facility upkeep, supplies, insurance, and food, to make camp accessible for as many families as possible.
 
However, we recognize that some families may still find these costs challenging. We genuinely want your children to have the opportunity to attend camp and experience all it has to offer. If finances are a concern, we encourage you to reach out to your local church, talk to family and friends, save up birthday money, or look into local fundraisers or grants that might help make attending camp feasible.
 
We believe that the investment you make in this experience will bring eternal memories and joys to your summer. Hope to see you there! 
 
“Our family had a great week at Camp Woody Acres! A beautiful piece of nature with so many opportunities to learn new things and have fun doing it with friends! My daughters have never before known how to rock climb, do ceramics, archery and zip line and that’s only to name a few. They loved their classes and counsellor and the staff are so friendly and helpful. One of our favourite parts of the day was worship, the songs, bible stories and lessons about Jesus! You would leave every night with the feeling that your heart was full. We feel so blessed to have been given this opportunity for our family and look forward to making it a yearly event!”
