Bnos ruach chaim is cheapest. $1,795. It's crazy hard to get into.
Bnos ruach chaim as mother's helper is even cheaper. $795, and it sounds like the girls only work about two hrs a day. It's supposedly easier to get in as a mother's helper than camper.

I’m also pretty sure the more yeshivish you go the cheaper they get
Mo coed camps are like $8 a month
Then middle of the road are usually $5k a month and more and more yeshivish is less and less

I heard it’s harder to get in as a mothers helper than as an actual camper

Agudah Toronto is a good price once take into account the exchange rate transportation is expensive.
Brc is always the cheapest if you have pull. And the girls have great wholesome fun.
Many cams. Especially the older ones give discounts.

How do you apply for that? Is it in the regular online camp application? (I started but didn't finish my online app)

It's not the regular online application, you have to apply as staff (and it's only for coming out of 9th grade and above, MAYBE 8th?). It is free and they even pay a little but it's not 2 hours a day of work (more like 6) and the rest of the day is not in a bunk with other campers, they're part of a "mother's helper bunk" and they're more like staff (can join some activities but it's all optional, not like a typical camper program).

Thanks for explaining. That's definitely not what DD is looking for. I was a mother's helper in raninu like 20 years ago. It was an expensive camp for the time and that way my parents were able to swing it. I was part of a regular bunk. My mother's helper hours were more than a couple of hours a day but I didn't miss more than a couple of activities a day because some of my work time was during meals or downtime. I was watching one baby so if it was during free time I was often able to walk him over to where my friends were chilling and chill together. I felt that I got a reasonably authentic camp experience and it was a fraction of the price. Would love something like that for DD.
