Camp Create

2026 All Camps Brochure

For a number of years, we dedicated a week of summer to the Arts. This week, called Camp Create, was rich in art projects - from clay to paint to tie-dye. After much reflection, we have decided that these should be a part of EVERY week of camp, not just one special week! Therefore, we will not be offering a week of Camp Crate, per se... but rather a summer of Camp Create! Join us for Grands/Family Camp and experience all of the fun of summer camp, including extra art offerings!

Registration FAQs

Fees are due paid in full 10 days before any camp session begins. If registration occurs within 10 days prior to the start of the session, all fees are due with registration.

Realizing that everyone has a different ability to pay, Clearwater Forest has instituted a voluntary three-tier fee program. You may choose the tier that is most suitable for your situation. It is a free-will system; you tell us what is affordable for you or your family. All participants receive the same Clearwater Forest experience no matter what they pay! For those who cannot afford Tier 1, additional financial assistance is available to ensure that all children, youth and adults have the wonderful opportunity to attend camp. In addition, some families might use this system to give themselves a multi-child or multi-week discount.

Tier I is our historically subsidized rate and does not reflect the true cost of operating summer camp programs.
Tier II is our partially subsidized fee for those who can pay a little more but still cannot afford the actual cost of camp.
Tier III more closely accounts for the true costs of camp, including wear and tear of facilities and grounds.

OUR GOALS:

To provide the highest quality programs possible.
To serve all community income levels.
To preserve camp for generations to come.

Again, this program is voluntary and in no way influences the experience anyone will receive. It offers the opportunity for families/individuals to take an active role in supporting the true cost of any camp experience at Clearwater Forest!

Camp fees may be transferred to another session of camp or refunded (minus the $100 deposit) up to 10 days prior to the start of any session. Any amount of financial assistance received for a camper that cancels will be refunded only to the provider of the financial assistance. Cancellations due to sudden illness, injury or extreme weather will be refunded the full amount at Clearwater Forest’s discretion.

*Check our cancellation policy to find the most up to date information.
