Keeping Camp Affordable - Tiered Pricing
Camp families have differing abilities to pay for an experience at Ewalu. Since you know your family’s financial situation better than we do, we’re introducing a voluntary three-tier pricing structure in which you self-select the rate you can afford!
Please consider selecting the highest level you can afford, knowing that, in doing so, you are enabling others to participate as well – and all campers benefit from greater diversity at camp.
Tier 1: Most closely reflects the “true cost” of camp. (Usually $100 more than Tier 2)
Tier 2: Standard rate from years past, partially subsidized. (Usually $300 more than Tier 3)
Tier 3: Most subsidized rate, for families needing more support to make camp affordable.
PLEASE REMEMBER: All campers receive the same high-quality camp experience regardless of the payment tier chosen. Your selection is completely confidential.
You’ll find the Tiered Pricing for each camp in the program descriptions and in the Online Registration portal. Click here to see a short video of Frank Johnson, executive director, explaining Tiered Pricing.
Register by February 28 so you can snag our best Early Discount, too (details in tab below). We’ve retired the Sibling Discount, but If you are registering more than one camper, you can “mix and match” at different tiers or use the same tier. It’s up to you!
Questions? Contact our office at 563-933-4700 or email office@ewalu.org.
Summer Camp Discounts
By registering early for summer camp, you help us know how many staff to hire for the summer, AND you get the biggest discount on pricing. It’s a win-win!
Our Early Discount pricing means $40 off for full-week youth programs if you register before Feb. 28 (good for any tier you choose). The discount is $20 off for shorter youth programs, True North, Family Camp and Grandparent Camp. From March 1 to April 15, the Early Discount goes down to $20 off for full-week programs. No coupon code needed; discount applied automatically in our registration system.
A “campership” is a camp scholarship that Ewalu offers for families that need extra financial assistance in order to experience camp. Remember, no child is ever turned away at Ewalu for reasons of financial need. Generous donations from Ewalu supporters bring the true cost of a week at camp (over $800) down for every camper already. On top of that, we have reserved funds at Ewalu to make sure camp is possible for all families, no matter what you can afford to pay. Call Diane at Ewalu for more information about camperships at 563-933-4700. We want all kids to experience the faith-building environment at Ewalu!

2026 PROGRAM THEME:
Wear Love
THEME VERSE:
“As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience.” — Colossians 3:12
Consider your favorite piece of clothing—the well-worn flannel, cozy sweater, or lucky jersey. Behind each garment is a story: the fibers, the hands that crafted it, and the care required to stay in your wardrobe. Love, much like clothing, has a journey. Rooted in God’s love, it’s woven into our lives, connecting us to others and guiding our actions. As Paul writes to the Colossians, love binds us together through virtues that we’ll explore each day: kindness, humbleness, calmness, steadfastness, and forgiveness. These qualities strengthen our relationships, reflecting God’s love in every interaction and aligning us with the values that create the good life God wants for all of us. In daily Bible study, campers will discover stories of individuals embodying Christ-like virtues that illustrate God’s love in action.
