Camp Piomingo Pricing

At YMCA Camp Piomingo, we believe all kids should have the opportunity to run, laugh, play, learn, and grow at camp. However, we realize families have differing abilities to pay for camp and have instituted a three-rate pricing option.

Pricing Details

Our pricing structure allows YOU to choose the cost of a week at camp.

Regardless of what tier is chosen, the YMCA Camp Piomingo experience will still remain the same. We trust families to best select the rate they are able to pay. 

Tier A

This tier reflects the full cost for a week of summer camp at YMCA Camp Piomingo. We kindly ask that you pay this amount IF your family has the ability to do so.

Tier B

This is a partially subsidized rate for families needing assistance in sending their child to camp. The difference between the Rate A and B dollar amounts is covered by donations to our Annual Campaign.

Tier C

This is a larger subsidy for families wishing to send their child to camp. Choose this rate if your family needs it. The additional funding for this rate also comes from our donors who believe so strongly that all kids need camp more than ever today.
