Finances

What is the tuition for Camp Pemi? Do you offer discounts or financial aid?

Please see Sessions, Rates, and Dates for this season’s information.

When is tuition due? How do I pay my bill?

Payments may be made by eCheck or debit/credit card. After and not including the initial deposit, credit card payments will incur a 3% credit card surcharge. Check, eCheck, and debit card payments do not incur a fee.

If you select/ed one of the following “Installment” options in your Camper Application, Pemi will send reminders of pending charges 5 days before automatically debiting the designated eCheck account or credit/debit card on file on the following dates:

  • 2-Installment Option: Your account will be charged on February 15 for the first half of the total balance due, and on May 15th for the remaining balance.
  • Monthly Installment Option: Your account will be charged in equal installments starting in November and ending in May. Dependent on registration timing.

What is the Store Account?

Pemi campers will be provided a $50.00 Camp Store credit. Campers who exceed this fund will incur additional charges and will be billed at the end of the summer.

The store at Pemi provides essentials for the campers. Items such as toothpaste, shampoo, sunscreen, etc. Water bottles and flashlights are also available there.

How do I check my balance?

Log in to your online Pemi account and click on “Financial Management.” Click on the button at bottom to “View Statement.”

May I pay tuition using my credit card?

Yes. The initial deposit at time of application must be paid by credit card, and will not incur a fee. After and not including the initial deposit, a 3% credit card surcharge will be applied to any further payments made by credit card. Check, e-check, and debit card payments do not incur a surcharge.

What is eCheck?

Also known as ACH payments, eChecks securely and directly submit payment from bank to bank. The option is built into your Pemi online account, and easy-to-follow directions will walk you through the one-time set-up. The transaction will be performed via a secure link to the bank’s site, and will incorporate all the security normally associated with banking services. Paying your son’s tuition by eCheck (instead of mailing a paper check to our mailbox) shortens processing time significantly. Alternatively, paper checks can be mailed to the address shown above.

Should my son bring cash with him?

Campers do not need cash, nor do we want campers to keep money in the cabin. If boys are traveling solo to/from camp and want to have money on hand, we will collect it upon arrival to store safely in the office and return it before departure.

Can we give our son's counselor a tip at the end of the season?

That’s a nice thought, but tipping of counselors (including gift cards) is not done at Camp Pemigewassett. The best way to express your appreciation for a counselor’s care and hard work is a friendly conversation and a warm handshake, or to consider a donation to the scholarship fund in his honor. We’d be happy to give you information on this.
