The cost is normally $500 for the week and includes everything (charter bus transportation, meals, activities, etc.). Normally one bus goes per year, but the grant will pay for an additional busload of 80 kids; therefore the cost of camp will be half price ($250 when the cost is shared among everyone if both buses are full).
