Fee Details
Full and partial financial assistance is available for campers who cannot afford the full camp fee. If interested in financial aid or more information, contact our Executive Director,
ashley@camphertkohollow.com or call 515-471-8523.
The true cost of our programs greatly exceeds our fees, averaging around $1,400 per camper. The generosity of families and other donors makes our reduced camp fee a reality. Families and sponsors have the option of paying the full camper fee to help subsidize the cost of camp for families that cannot afford the full amount. The additional cost is tax deductible, and a receipt will be provided for tax purposes.
Aid Information
We are here to help.
Please do not allow the need for assistance to stand in the way of your son or daughter attending Camp Hertko Hollow. We fundraise all year long for your child and are honored to help in any way possible. Your child will greatly benefit from the experience and we are here to help get your child to camp!
Requesting Financial Assistance from Camp Hertko Hollow
If you do not have the resources to cover the full camp fee, Camp Hertko Hollow has funds available to assist with the cost. Funding is limited so we suggest that you try to find sponsors in your community (see below). However, if you are not able to secure funding through a sponsor you can request financial assistance from Camp Hertko Hollow. Your request can be completed when you register your child through the on-line registration process. Both full and partial assistance is provided depending on your need. No child is ever turned away due to an inability to pay so we encourage you to apply if you are in need. Please note: requests for financial aid for summer sessions must be completed by June 1, 2022; requests for financial aid for Family Weekend are due by March 25, 2022.
Finding Sponsors
Sponsors should include their name, address, phone, and e-mail with the check so that we can send a thank you letter. All checks should be made payable to “Camp Hertko Hollow” or “CHH” and provide the name of the sponsored camper in the “memo section” of the check. Camp Hertko Hollow must receive all sponsorship payments for summer sessions by June 1, 2022; sponsorship payments for Spring Family Weekend are due by March 25, 2022.
