Sliding Scale Pricing

At Mountain Kids!, we believe every child deserves time to play, explore, and grow outdoors. Our sliding scale pricing helps make our summer camps accessible to families with a wide range of financial situations—so more kids can get outside and adventure with us.

Each camp offers multiple tuition options. Families are invited to select the option that works best for them—no application required. All campers receive the same high-quality Mountain Kids! experience, regardless of tuition level.

Tuition supports:

  • Fair wages and training for our instructors
  • Low staff-to-camper ratios
  • Equipment, permits, transportation, and program supplies

If the listed options are still a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to connect and do our best to support families whenever possible.

Thank you for helping us create an inclusive, supportive community where more kids get out to play, explore, and connect with nature.
