Tuition
Epsilon Camp 2025 tuition for each camper is $3250 plus a non-refundable registration fee of $150. This amount does not include meals or housing.
Financial aid covering up to full cost of attendance is available for eligible families, based upon adjusted gross income (AGI).
Housing
On-campus housing is an additional cost to camper tuition, and will be required for all families attending Epsilon Camp. Living on campus helps families and campers develop a feeling of community. More information regarding housing options can be found on the Housing page. Each family will register for 14 nights of housing.
Costs for housing are $50 per bed/person per night. Suites house up to four people and each family occupies a private suite that includes a private bathroom. Lodging fees include linen and towels sets. Common kitchens for meal warming with refrigerators and coffee machines are available, as well as music practice and study rooms.
Meals
Meals are an additional cost to camper tuition. All campers are required to purchase a “Bear Bucks” card to be used at the dining hall. Bear Buck cards are to be used for breakfast, lunch and dinner that are offered on an a la carte basis in the dining hall. Cards will be preloaded with $1.00 equal to $1 Bear Buck.
A Bear Bucks card is optional for attending family members and credit cards are accepted at all dining facilities.
In addition, there will be a welcome dinner for campers and families on the first night of camp; the cost of the welcome dinner will be determined prior to registration.

A deposit of $1000 plus $150 registration fee per camper is required within 10 days of admission to Epsilon Camp. New admits to Epsilon Camp will be mailed instructions on how to pay the deposit, and the registration process for housing and meals.

Payment of remaining balance of tuition, housing, and meals for all campers and attendees is due on May 1, 2025.
Registrations for which final payments and/or required camp forms have not been submitted by the May 1 deadline will be subject to a $200 late fee, in addition to any costs incurred from the host university due to late registration or changes.
2025 Refund Policy
Withdrawal requests received in writing no later than March 1, 2025 will have all paid fees refunded in full, except for the registration fee of $150. After March 1, tuition deposits of $1000 per camper and $150 registration fees are non-refundable. The remaining balance of tuition and room and board fees will be due on May 1, 2025, and no refund is made for withdrawals for any reason after this date. Epsilon Camp recommends travel insurance, such as TravMark™, to protect your travel, tuition and room and board payments in case you are unable to attend camp or must leave early due to emergency.
Epsilon Camp reserves the right to cancel or offer an online version of our summer program in the event of COVID-19 surges, medical epidemics, outbreaks, or other emergencies. In the event that Epsilon Camp is unable to offer an in-person program, we will notify families as soon as possible and practical. If a decision is made to move the camp online, we will apply the full deposit to an online summer program. For families who elect not to participate in an online program, Epsilon Camp will determine to what extent funds already received may be refunded, less expenses Epsilon Camp already incurred or will incur due to the cancellation of an in-person camp. Epsilon Camp will not be liable for any costs incurred by families due to cancellation of travel fees or any other expenses in the event that our program is cancelled or offered online.
