Tuition and Aid

Financial Aid / Campership Info

The Camp Surefire Foundation subsidizes the cost of tuition for every camper. Our tuition price does not cover the expense of sending a child to a weeklong overnight diabetes camp.

Camperships are available for eligible families. To apply for a campership, please register your camper online for the session they wish to attend (e.g., spring teen camp weekend, summer camp week). You must pay the registration fee(s) in order to submit your camper registration form and be considered for a campership / financial aid.

Based on your responses to the campership questions and the submission of the requested paperwork, we will determine the amount of financial aid that will be granted to your family. We do our best to accommodate all requests. Our Financial Aid team will reach out to you with any questions and to let you know if your request has been approved.  

Please note: To date, we have NEVER turned away a child with T1D due to finances.

For questions on financial aid, please contact Ali Fox at afox@campsurefire.org or 401-474-1606.

Overnight Summer Camp Tuition

$750 (including a non-refundable registration fee of $50)

Non-Refundable Registration Fee:
A non-refundable registration fee ($50) is required to reserve a space for summer camp for campers ages 7-17. This fee is part of the total camp fee and will be deducted from any processed refunds. Please contact Ali Fox at afox@campsurefire.org or 401-474-1606 if you need assistance or help with the registration fee.

Payment Options:

1. Pay balance in full. Pay by Credit Card or eCheck for selected session(s).
2. Sign up for a payment plan. Pay the Registration Fee(s) for the selected session(s) and enroll in a monthly credit/debit card-based payment plan.
3. Pay just the Registration Fee. Pay only the Registration Fee(s) to reserve your camper’s spot(s). This option is best if you plan to apply for Campership support or if you wish to pay tuition by mailing a check to the camp office.

For assistance or to make alternative payment arrangements, contact Ali Fox at afox@campsurefire.org or 401-474-1606.
