Summer 2026 Camping Fee

The break-even cost to Lambert House for this five-day camping trip is $1,250 per youth. Please pay that if you can.

Thanks to generous donors, we are able to offer a sliding scale down to $250. 

If $250 is more than you can afford, please contact Ken by phone, text, email, or in person to discuss other options. The fee should not prevent anyone from going on the trip.

If you would like to fund a scholarship for a youth whose parents won’t support their participation in LGBTQ+ activities, or for families that can’t afford the full tuition, you are warmly invited to pay up to $2,500 to provide a scholarship.

Costs include: staff time for trip planning and administration; 1 van rental; 1 owned van’s maintenance; gas for 2 vans; insurance; 14 meals; professional river rafting guides, instruction, and equipment; campground fees; tents, stove, stove fuel, lanterns, headlamps, etc.

Please place yourself on the sliding fee scale where it makes sense for you.
