Do You Offer Sibling Discounts?

The Oak Hall Summer Program does not provide discounts as we believe our pricing is done in accordance with the cost associated with the camp and equitable comparable to other camp programs in the Gainesville area. We do however understand that families with multiple children may face hardship when considering quality summer camp programs and it is our goal to GET KIDS TO CAMP! If you have multiple children, please complete and submit by May 1st the Need Based Financial Assistance application found below. A sliding scale is used to determine awards and the formula considers not only income but also number of children.
