Our Application Process
To attend Waldo Day Camp, the camper must be 8-12 years of age and have their own transportation daily to the park.
The priority deadline for applications is May 5th. Participants may be accepted after that date if space allows.
Once a child is accepted to Waldo Day Camp, that camper’s family should turn in registration packets and signed camper agreements to secure the camper’s spot.
Costs
Waldo Day Camp believes in access to camp! That’s why we use a sliding scale based on family income to determine fees for each camper. Waldo Day Camp is a nonprofit camp, and even families at the top of the sliding scale pay much less than actual cost per camper. Most of Waldo Day Camp’s costs are covered by outside funding, through grants and donations.
Our day camp registration fees per session for 2025 are as follows –
For our THREE-DAY camps:
- Households earning an annual income of $140,000 and above = $180/session
- Households earning an annual income between $90,000 and $140,000 = $130/session
- Households earning an annual income between $60,000 and $90,000 = $80/session
- Households earning an annual income between $35,000 and $60,000 = $30/session
- Households earning an annual income less than $35,000 = FREE
For our FULL WEEK camp:
- Households earning an annual income of $140,000 and above = $300/session
- Households earning an annual income between $90,000 and $140,000 = $150/session
- Households earning an annual income between $60,000 and $90,000 = $100/session
- Households earning an annual income between $35,000 and $60,000 = $40/session

Fees are paid during registration, after we process your camper’s application.
We do not want the cost of camp to keep any child from attending Waldo Day Camp, particularly families with more than one camper. We are able provide financial assistance when necessary. If you would like to discuss financial assistance, please contact Kevin.
