Dayspring does not set a charge for summer campers to attend. All contributions are voluntary. We trust God to provide through campers, parents, and friends of the ministry. If you are able to share in the cost of summer camp, your gift is appreciated. If you cannot, please don’t let that keep your child away. Retreat fees may differ: the 2026 Senior Fall Retreat has a $25 nonrefundable registration fee; $10 is applied to the camper’s canteen for the weekend.

Daycamps are for ages 6–18, Junior Camp for ages 8–12, Junior High Camp for ages 10–14, and Senior Camp for ages 13–17. The Senior Fall Retreat is for ages 13–18. Please contact us if you have a question about eligibility.
