More information on Lehigh Field Camp costs
We have made every effort in the face of rising fuel, camping,
permits,
and food costs to keep Lehigh Field Camp as affordable as possible.
We pride ourselves at not having hidden costs. Unlike other camps that
require significant travel to the instruction location, we provide all travel
from and returning to Lehigh. For the trip west, we also can pick you up
along the way sometime during the first 4 days between Lehigh and Missouri.
(see more information on travel and pick-up in the registration materials).
The $3500 fee covers the following:
6 credits
6,500 miles of travel
27 nights of camping in some of the most beautiful campgrounds in the country
27 equivalent days of food - 3 square meals a day. Good food and lots of it.
