Referral Program
Our Camper Referral Discount rewards you for sharing camp with your friends! Spread the word about The Nature Place and we’ll give you a $300 tuition credit (or write you a $300 check at summer’s end if you’ve already paid in full) for each new family who enrolls this season based on your recommendation. PLUS, each family whom you refer will get a $100 credit towards their camp tuition. It’s a win-win-win.
Financial FAQ’s
Do you offer incentives for enrolling early?
The Early Bird Enrollment Special runs each year through October 31st. Enrolling and paying in full for the following year allows families to choose an awesome guided outdoor experience to enjoy.
Other perks of early enrollment:
- Breathing a sigh of relief knowing your camper(s) plans are secured for summer
- Payment plan flexibility
- Your spot at camp guaranteed
What is your tuition payment schedule?
A deposit of $750 is required to hold your camper’s place. After January 1st, half of your family’s tuition balance is due upon enrollment, with the other half due by March 31st. If you need a more flexible payment plan, please reach out.
Do you offer a sibling discount?
Yes, we automatically apply a 5% discount to your tuition per camper when you enroll two or more siblings.
Do you offer scholarships?
The Nature Place Campership Fund was created in 2017 to help provide assistance to families who strongly believe in our camp philosophy and mission, but who cannot afford to send their child(ren) to camp. Funds are limited, so applying early is highly encouraged. Please be in touch with us if you are seeking assistance, and we will send you the Financial Assistance Application, which will need to be filled out and sent back with the necessary documentation.
Is camp tuition tax deductible?
You may be eligible for a tax credit based on your child’s day camp tuition expense. Check out this info from the IRS for more details.
