REMINDER: There is no financial commitment associated with applying to Camp Akeela. We do not process any payment until it is mutually agreed that Camp Akeela is the right fit for your child. (The $1000 “deposit” is held as a placeholder for a camper’s spot while the family completes the application process. If the family or the camp directors decide that the camper won’t attend Akeela this summer, that payment is never processed.)
Full terms and conditions are provided on the camper enrollment form. Below are a few highlights.
PAYMENT TERMS:
Camp tuition is due according to the following schedule:
- Upon submission of the camper application: $1000 deposit (plus $500 ACAP fee, if Camper Assurance Program is selected)
- By January 31, 2027: 50% of remaining balance.
- By April 30, 2027: 100% of remaining balance.
Payments may be made by eCheck/ACH, by credit card or debit card, or by check. A 3.0% transaction fee will be added to credit card payments only.

For ACAP participants who cancel enrollment between May 1, 2027 to May 31, 2027, $2,000 of your tuition will be retained as a credit for a future camp session. All other money that has been paid will be refunded less a $250 processing fee and the $500 ACAP fee.

All other money that has been paid will be refunded less a $250 processing fee and the $500 ACAP fee. NOTE: ACAP does not apply to early departures from camp for any reason.
Participants in ACAP do not need a specific reason to receive the benefits of ACAP. You must sign up and pay for ACAP at the same time you enroll in camp.
