Our research

Junior Camp serves completed grades 3–6 and uses air-conditioned lodging. Its published 2026 sessions are six days long and include swimming, climbing, ziplining, and small-group worship.

Families choose a confidential payment tier while receiving the same camp experience. Need-based scholarships are available; confirm next-season dates and fees before booking.

Junior check-in is 4–4:30 p.m. Medicines go to the healthcare manager, and dietary needs belong on the health form. Discuss additional needs with a director before camp.

Three meals and an evening snack are provided. The $100 deposit is nonrefundable; cancellation more than 14 days ahead returns other fees. Closer cancellations depend on filling the place, with illness or emergencies reviewed individually.

The CampFactor review covers standard Junior Camp only, using the last published 2026 calendar, rather than every Cedarkirk specialty program.

Rates checked September 29, 2026: the Junior Camp page still publishes summer 2026 sessions for completed grades 3–6 at $555, $640, or $745. For example, June 7–12 is a six-day session. The pricing page says every camper receives the same experience and the selected tier remains confidential. These figures are a past-season reference, not a confirmed 2027 quote.

Before you choose

The published Junior Camp prices and dates are still for 2026. Three payment tiers buy the same camp experience; other Cedarkirk programs have different eligibility and rates.

Confirm these details for your child’s exact session:

  • Eligible ages or grades, session dates, and whether a parent or church leader registers.
  • Total cost, additional fees, payment deadlines, and refund terms before paying a deposit.
  • Faith programming, daily schedule, and how the camp handles your child’s needs.

A detail worth knowing

Junior Camp’s three published 2026 prices—$555, $640, and $745—are voluntary payment tiers, not three different program packages. The tier stays confidential.
