SESSION DATES & TIMES

NEW TO 2025: TIERED PRICING

WHAT IS TIERED PRICING?

We understand that our camp families have differing abilities to pay, so we now offering tiered pricing as a precursor to financial assistance for our traditional camp program to help make it possible for any family to experience camp. We do not want finances to keep a child or a family from the opportunity to experience being a part of the YMCA Camp Roger community. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information of financial assistance.

This pricing option is available to anyone. We offer three pricing levels to better accommodate all financial needs. Please consider selecting the highest tier that your family can afford to allow YMCA Camp Roger to utilize this funding to ensure the quality of each camper's experience. The price you select does not impact your camper's experience in any way.

TIER A

Most accurately reflects the true and actual cost of camp.

TIER B

A partially subsidized rate, but more closely reflects the actual cost of camp.

TIER C

Our historically standard rate which does not represent the true cost of camp. This rate is subsidized by the YMCA through fundraising, special events, and contributions.

(Costs: Tier A $765, Tier B $740, Tier C $715)

MINI CAMP

Session 4

Designed for our campers who are not quite ready to spend an entire week away from home, our Mini Camp experience offers the same kind of fun in a shorter amount of time. Mini Camp campers check-in will be on Sundays with everyone else but check out on Wednesdays at 3:30 PM. Mini Campers may participate in archery, arts and crafts, cook-out breakfast, fire building, circus, nature, and orienteering. While we believe Mini Camp is the perfect opportunity for first-time campers, we are sure they will return home ready for so much more time on the mountain!

LITTLE ROGERS

To keep them extra safe, Little Roger's will not participate in any swimming or activities involving horses - but trust us, there's SO MUCH fun to be had!

LEADERSHIP CAMPS

YMCA Camp Roger's leadership programs are designed to progressively develop our young camp alumni from "Rising Stars" into hopeful camp staff applicants. Leadership campers will experience off-site camp outs trips, a detailed orientation, team building, and supervised training within the camp program as mentors and leaders to our younger campers. Our goal is to challenge each individual to think of the bigger picture (what it means to be a leader) and how that relates to themselves, camp, and their home life. We believe this experience will be life-changing and help give direction for years to come!

RISING STARS 

Age 15 (Rising 10th Grade)

Sessions 9 & 10

$770

Created with campers who are about to age out of camp but still love it in mind, Rising Stars will experience some their favorite camp activities in the afternoon with an increased emphasis on leadership development, team building, and adventure in the mornings. While at camp, campers will take major steps to develop their leadership skills and identify their leadership style while working as a team on and off camp property. We expect Rising Stars to engage with all campers by leading songs, helping around camp, and being a role models. While this program may be different from a camper's experience in past years, we are confident it will elevate their camp experience.

LEADERS IN TRAINING (LIT)

This two-week specialized intro to staff-training program for 16 or 17-year-olds is exactly what it sounds like. Hands-on leadership training that teaches campers the basic skills and responsibilities to be a YMCA Camp Roger staff team member in the years to come! LIT's participate in leadership development focusing on team building, cooperation, and supervision. Additionally, Leadership Specialists will be planning and implementing a two-night, three-day backpacking trip in the Uinta’s with our Leadership Specialists. These campers will work side-by-side with staff members to gain skills in managing group behavior, leading activities, and supporting the staff.

3-Week Session Beginning Session 1

Our CIT experience is designed for 17- to 18-year-old campers with the goals of refining their leadership abilities in the first week, through continued development of leadership skills. An extended off-site campout experience during their second week, and then finally they get hands-on work experience in program and with cabins of campers. While we know that this time of a teen’s life can be so full of options for young adults; the skills developed as a CIT are among the ‘soft skills’ that help prepare your camper for life in the real world. These include but are not limited to hands on learning experiences, a chance for personal growth, and employable skill development. As a nationally ranked leadership and community organization, this YMCA leadership development opportunity is transferable to almost any future work experience including college applications.
