How Much Does Camp Cost?
Camp Ocean Pines uses a tiered pricing — a trust based system that allows you to pick the price that works for your family. All campers have the same opportunities regardless of which tier price you select. We ask that you pay Tier 1 if possible to ensure camp prices stay affordable for families in need. Families that need additional assistance beyond tiered pricing can apply to receive financial aid, which is supported by individual donations, organizations, and grants.
Read more about each tier below, and scroll down to learn more and to see the price for each session.

This represents the full price of camp operations, including year round staffing, support for long-term maintenance, repairs, and facility enhancements. This level also generously supports our scholarship funds, helping keep camp an option for all families.

Enrollment FAQs
-
Your camper will enjoy an enclosed cabin shared with 7-8 other campers and 1-2 camp staff. Each cabin has 10 bunk beds and a private toilet and shower. Every day campers get three delicious meals and two snacks. We offer over 50 different activities ranging from tie-dye and archery to kayaking and beach days.
Tuition also covers the logistics of camp. This ranges from transportation to off-site activities, program supplies and helping pay our hard-working camp staff.
Camp Ocean Pines is a year-round operation that works hard to ensure a safe environment for your camper. We are an American Camping Associated accredited camp, our Directors are continually attending professional development events and our facilities staff works hard to maintain our beautiful site!

Yes! If you refer a new camper to Camp and they enroll in a session, both of you will save $150 on your total registration cost. To get this discount, email nicole@campoceanpines.org with the name of the referral/referred family.
-
Every registration requires a $300 non-refundable deposit to hold your camper's spot.
Between the time of your registration and the full payment date (5/15/25), families can cancel their session and receive a full refund beyond their non-refundable deposit. After the final payment, there are no refunds. This policy will remain the same for families who opt into the "pay in full" option at registration.
For your protection, Camp has vetted multiple travel insurance companies and spoke with other camp professionals to choose the best option for our families. You can now buy travel insurance through TripMate to protect your camper's tuition this summer. This would ensure you would receive a refund if your camper could not come to camp because of a variety of reasons such as medical emergencies, travel delays, illness (including Covid) or emergencies in the family (reasons covered detailed in insurance plans). This is not a requirement to attend Camp.
Please follow this link to request a quote and learn more about TripMate services and packages.
We also want to acknowledge that this will not cover if camp cancels camp due to a Covid-19 outbreak. Camp is working hard during the summer off-season to put in place more infrastructure and staffing to ensure we can properly respond to these events if they arise. As we approach summer, we will have more details regarding the steps we will take to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 this upcoming season.
Our goal is to always operate a safe and healthy summer camp. Camp Ocean Pines reserves the right to cancel any camp session due to low enrollment, change camper numbers, session numbers, etc. based on health guidelines and camp safety. Camp will reach out individually to families in case of this event as these scenarios are often unique.

If the spot you are looking for is full, you will automatically be added to our waitlist when you submit your registration. There is no fee to be added to the waitlist. The registration system will collect payment information as part of the registration but no fee will be charged. All registrations must be approved by our Director.
Once added to the waitlist, you will be notified if a spot opens up. There will be no communication if there is movement on the list. While we are hopeful to welcome every camper, the waitlist is unpredictable.
Our staff will contact you if a spot opens up and you will have 48 hours to respond until we move to the next person on the waitlist.
