Cost & Accommodations

LDP Participants stay in LDP housing in Pine Pointe ViIllage, Superior. There are two sleeping buildings and a shared communal space. 

With a continued focus on equity, we are excited to bring back a tiered pricing system for 2025 Leadership Development Program registration.

The registration tier you select will directly support the continued operation of this program. There are a range of pricing levels intended to support each family’s financial situation. This means you can choose from a range of tiers and opt in to pay the amount that suits your family best.

• Tier 1 - $1,400 (reflects actual cost of LDP Program which includes lodging, meals, staffing and transportation)
• Subsidized Rates
  • Tier 2 - $1,000
  • Tier 3 – $800
  • We encourage families unable to afford Tier 3 to apply for Financial Assistance.
    • We recognize that LDP Program can stretch the financial resources of many families. The Family Camp administrative teams and community boards raise funds annually to ensure this powerful experience is accessible to all interested campers. The majority of families who submit an application will receive the financial assistance needed.
• There is a $60 transportation fee to ride the bus to/from camp.
• Payment Schedule – An initial 25% deposit will be followed by three equal payments on the first of the month in April, May, and June.

LDP Home & Away

The first week of programming runs from 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and focuses on connection to nature and environment through service at local non-profits.
