All camp registrations cost $300 per camper. There are options to pay via credit card upon registration, start a payment plan ($100/month per camper for 3 months), or pay by check. Checks should be made out to the Diocese of Jefferson City with the summer camp and camper(s) name(s) on the memo line. Please mail checks to Diocese of Jefferson City, Attn Youth Office, 2207 West Main St. Jefferson City, MO 65109.
Scholarships for camp are also available based on need.
The actual cost of summer camp is more than double the actual cost but because of generous donors we have been able to keep the cost more affordable for our families.
You do not need to be Catholic to attend Diocese of Jefferson City Summer Camps! All campers participate in Catholic prayer and traditions, including Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Liturgy of the Hours. Non-Catholic campers are asked to be respectful of these traditions, and are welcome to participate.
