Fees & Dates
Deposit
A deposit of $400 in Canadian Funds must accompany each camper application form. This deposit will apply towards camp fees and will be refunded in full in the event that this application is not accepted. See conditions listed on the back of the Camper Application Form.

Camper Subsidy
The cost of operating Camp Kirk is higher than most camps due to the fact that our enrolment capacity is lower than most, yet we require a high staff/camper ratio. The real cost to host a camper at Camp Kirk is $3,940. However, we aim to keep Camp Kirk financially accessible to as many families as possible. Revenue is generated from our fundraising activities and allows us to provide each camper with a subsidy of approximately $1,490. As a result, the remaining camper fee that a family is required to pay is outlined below:

Send a Kid to Camp
Bob McDerment was the founder and the main force behind the creation of Camp Kirk. He had a dream and a vision that every child, particularly those with a Learning Disability, attention deficit disorders and special needs, should have the opportunity to go to a camp tailored to their needs. Thanks in great part to his leadership,
Camp Kirk began in 1993 and has flourished ever since.
As outlined above, the cost to operate Camp Kirk is higher than most other camps due to the unique needs of our campers. Despite these costs, we aim to have our camper fees as low as possible, keeping Camp Kirk financially accessible to all families needing its services, and ensuring that no one is left at the gate. This means that the revenue generated from camper fees does not come close to covering our cost of operation. This financial gap must be bridged, and the only way this can be achieved is through fundraising.
Camp Kirk Fees
Camp Kirk is a registered charity and we would like to give families the option to make a donation to the camp to help us cover the existing shortfall in camper revenue. An official charitable tax receipt will be issued in the amount of the portion exceeding the total amount of the 2012 camper fees owed. For instance, if your child's camp fee is $2,390 and you send us $2,500, you would be entitled to a tax receipt of $110.

Your generosity, no matter the amount, will serve to help us continue to offer our campers the experience of a lifetime. All donations are confidential and we hope that you will give this option your kind consideration.

With sincere thanks.
Henri Audet
Executive Director
