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

Agudah Midwest, camp Dina, and tizmoret shoshana all are applicable for one happy camper grants which defray the costs.

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).
