OVERNIGHT CAMP WEEKLY SLIDING SCALE TUITION OPTIONS
At the time of registration, parents choose their tuition rate according to their annual income and assets. There is no formal financial aid reporting, we only ask for a brief explanation if their are unusual circumstances (recent job loss, care for elderly parents, sick family member, divorce, etc).
The Early Bird Rate includes scholarship tuition reduction opportunities ranging from weekly tuition of $895-$1395 depending on income and assets. After December 21st, tuition ranges from $950-$1450. After March 1st, non-discounted rate will be $1,495 after all the tuition scholarship reduction funds have been allocated.
Additionally, our 3rd party registration system (ACTIVE NETWORK) has partnered with an event refund company. Booking Protect is a guarantee, that you have the option to buy at the time of purchase, which allows you to apply for a full refund when certain unforeseen circumstances occur which make it impossible for your child to attend Camp Demigod.
Therefore, when you register by December 20th for early bird rates, (1) you are able to change weeks as your summer plans take shape, and (2) you can choose to be covered by Booking Protect for a tuition refund if something comes up before or during camp subject to their policies (a physical or mental illness, injury, relocation, among others). Camp Demigod does not offer refunds. This service is being contracted for your option and is an agreement between you and Booking Protect only and refunds will only be given at the discretion of Booking Protect.

Semi-private lessons are offered to Counselors-in-Training as part of their reduced tuition.
Depending on the motivation of the student and their length of stay, older students who work consistently with our faculty will leave camp with a portfolio of original works that could be used as part of their college applications. There are also options available for semi-private Martial Arts Training, Group Innovation Seminars and ESL.
Parents may also purchase additional optional merchandize, such as, camp T-Shirts, Additional and Deluxe Swords (for campers who must have two weapons to protect the camp barrier), Personalized Costume Materials (campers may take home their costume rather than leaving it for future Demigods in the costume department), hundreds of digital photos and videos are sent via a private google link to parents each week who purchase this option, and Camp Store Credit (to buy play Drachmas: Greek Money - any unspent balance will be donated for DIGIVATIONS CAMP DEMIGOD INSTITUTE scholarships).

Why does Camp Demigod elect to enable families to choose from a range of tuition rates? When our son, Jacob, came to us with the idea of creating the World’s First Overnight Camp Half-Blood, he wanted to create a summer camp where everyone felt included. Jacob said when he was ten years old, “I wanted to bring my own demigod character to life and make my story come true in a place where everyone was kind to each other and where everyone belonged.” We strive for this philosophy to filter into everything we do at Camp Demigod through our focus on your child’s interests and personalized attention. Another important way we create an environment of inclusion is to ensure that no one is turned away because of family resources to the extent possible. At the time of registration, parents choose their tuition rate according to their annual income and assets. There is no formal financial aid reporting, we only ask for a brief explanation if there are unusual circumstances (recent job loss, care for elderly parents, sick family member, divorce, etc). Any tuition lower than the highest rate is a tuition reduction scholarship.

Counselors-in-Training learn new leadership skills while they explore their academic and future vocational passions under the direct guidance of our directors and faculty. Responsibilities include leading a cabin of 5-8 children, minding the health and safety of younger campers ages 9-12, as well as assisting with art/drama/academic pursuits of their choice. This includes assisting with morning/rest hour/bedtime routines (grooming, cabin/Tipi clean up and inspection); helping to serve meals, overseeing dish and campus clean up, assisting with sports (hiking, Quidditch, Capture the Flag and river play); games (LEGO serious play, D&D, Magic the card game, Virtual Realty experiences-Oculus Rift/VIVE); performance and quest preparations (story-line, costume and weapon design); and dances. There are two levels of leadership: CIT (ages 15-16, depending on experience, selection usually requires at least 1 year of Camp Demigod experience as a camper). Tuition for one week is $650. Junior Counselor (ages 16-17, significant experience showing leadership and responsibility for children at Camp Demigod or other camp experience). Tuition is based on need and qualifications of the candidate. Some experienced and mature Junior Counselors pay no tuition and earn a small weekly stipend.
Honorarium may be offered at the end of each week to and CIT who exhibit extraordinary leadership skills.
Reduced tuition covers all meals, housing, instruction, semi-private lessons of their choice, guest lectures, mentoring, supervision, materials, and recreation fees. This amount does not include transportation to and from the camp located just outside Leavenworth, WA. Arrangements may be made for those CITs who fly into Seattle Airport by the Wenatchee Valley Shuttle service or, in rare, circumstances, the Directors. CIT SHORT ESSAY QUESTIONS: Before you register your child, please ask the prospective CIT to answer these questions so that you can include their essays in the registration questionnaire. 1) SHORT ANSWER: Why do you want to be a CIT or Junior Counselor and what leadership experiences have you had over the last few years? 2) EXPERIENCE: Provide detailed information regarding your community service and/or work experience with children. Highlight your DIGIVATIONS intern, counselor or teaching experience.

WHY INVEST IN YOUR DEMIGOD’s DREAM TO ATTEND CAMP DEMIGOD for Summer 2019
CAMP DEMIGOD is the World’s only overnight Half-Blood (Percy Jackson's World), Harry Potter and Fandom Camps, we are known for our NASA award winning STEM+ARTS+MOVEMENT curriculum, innovative multidisciplinary personalized programs, and unique setting on 23 private acres adjoining a national forest and adjacent to the famous Leavenworth, WA area. Many Campers have returned year after year to this magical world which positively embraces their individualism and like minded creativity, strengthens their bonds of friendship which transcend distance and time zones, are fueled by their vibrant cultural differences, distinctly varied yet richly intersecting talents, joyous shared interests, and empowering imaginations.
CAMP DEMIGOD enables campers to safely explore, learn and apply their new knowledge, and connect with and enrich their intellectual, emotional and physical intelligences through collaborative world building projects, games including Capture the Flag, D&D and Magic, sportsmanship through theatrical combat and Quidditch, and artistic pursuits writing stories, and music which are often developed and expressed in the form of short skits and plays.
DIGIVATIONS CAMP DEMIGOD’s curriculum integrates aural, visual and kinesthetic learning about topics as diverse as ancient Greece and other early civilizations, astronomy, architecture, advanced and biological computing, artificial intelligence, biomimicry, biotechnology, design thinking, engineering, genetics, physics ranging from celestial mechanics, Newton’s laws and quantum mechanics, virtual and augmented reality.
The beauty underlying this learning is Campers’ applications in creating and making art, performing music, skits and plays, and writing a diverse array of literature. Most significantly is that Campers refine their critical thinking and problem solving skills, enhance their empathy and connect with and enliven their passions and imaginations which ingredients inspired Albert Einstein, the great thinkers and philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, and world transforming artists and musicians.
Drs. Steve, Anne and Jacob Berman along with the town of Leavenworth, WA invite your DEMIGOD to join us this summer as we integrate the old and celebrate the new enriching offerings, inspiring faculty and additional facilities including a cabin addition.
