We're often asked "where does the camper fee go?" or "why are you asking for more money?" and we'd love to tell you. Below are a sample of some of the larger expenses we have in a typical season. While they don't represent our official financial data, they'll hopefully give you a good idea of how your money is being used, and why your support is essential. Consider this the 'budget at a glance.'

As always, a quick call to the office and we'd be happy to talk more about it.
