This year, we decided to offer our families tiered pricing. Please take a moment to look at the rate descriptions below and determine which of the two prices your family is able to pay for your child’s camp experience. Price selection is done strictly on an honor system. If you can afford to pay the full fee (Tier 1), please do so. If you cannot, simply select the price which is right for your family’s circumstances. There is no difference in the camp experience for campers registered at different tiers and tier selection is kept confidential.
TIER 1
This rate most accurately reflects the true cost of camp, including operational, general, and administrative expenses. If you can afford to pay this fee, please do so.
TIER 2
This is our partially subsidized rate for those who cannot quite afford the full cost of camp. Families utilizing this tier are paying about 15% below the actual cost of camp.
At Camp Tuku, our mission is to provide a holistic approach to the camp experience for kids; a program designed to integrate the mind, body, and heart, giving kids skills early in life to help them nurture inner resilience.
With a focus on developing mindfulness skills, our unique summer camp experience offers a great opportunity for kids to learn and practice simple, fun tools for the development of self-awareness, as well as practices that will enable them to respond more effectively to the inevitable stress of every-day life. At Camp Tuku, we aim to nurture the mind, body, and heart.
BUNKS
Our campers are housed in beautifully updated cabins with bunk beds and include a bathroom containing two showers, two stalls, and two sinks. Due to Covid-19, approximately 3-4 campers will live in each bunk with a minimum of 1 counselor, ensuring proper supervision of every child while following social distancing recommendations.
DINING ROOM
Enjoy your healthy meals in our cafeteria-style dining room. We will provide yummy foods that are balanced, fresh, organic, and sourced locally (where possible). Our professional staff are ready to meet the special dietary needs of our campers and families, including but not limited to vegetarian, gluten free, and nut allergies.
Throughout the day campers enjoy delicious treats. Every afternoon following Rest Hour we open “Snack Bar” for refreshing fruit, juice, ices or ice cream.
HEALTH CENTER
Our campers will be cared for by Dr. Tim Rider, a board-certified Physician and other care professionals at our infirmary. They are prepared to handle any medical needs that may arise 24×7.
