The rates for the Camp are:

·         $1050 for all youth and para athletes attending the full camp with meals and charter bus transportation (please note that we received a donation to help with the cost of the charter bus this year so there is no reduction in fees for athletes who get to Penticton on their own)

·         $650 for all youth and para athletes who are attending ½ the camp (4 nights’ accommodation, if you would like to stay longer please contact me and we can discuss the change to your fees individually)
