Payment Options & Financial Aid Every child deserves a week at camp. Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, Pearce Williams offers multiple financial aid options. You may choose to use the financial aid that is most suitable for your family. Tier Pricing Payment Plans Scholarships Tier Pricing System Explained The Tier System allows us to continue to offer our amazing summer camp programs while letting everyone know the true cost of camp. The average cost of camp in Ontario is $1300 per week. Expenses for a camper to attend a single week of camp at Pearce Williams are well over $1000 when all is taken into account. We keep our fees for camp families significantly lower than the provinical average by subsidizing them through donations and rental income. Based on the above information you may choose the tier that is most suitable for your family. Tier I provides significantly subsidized fees compared to the true cost of camp. Tier II offers more subsidization of our fees for those who need to pay a little less. Tier III offers the lowest fees available for camp, making our programming as accessible to families in need as we possibly can. THIS PROGRAM IS VOLUNTARY AND IN NO WAY INFLUENCES THE EXPERIENCE CHILDREN RECEIVE. It offers the opportunity for families to take an active role in supporting the true cost of their child’s camp experience. Only the office staff know what tier you have selected, and that information is used only for billing purposes. Tier Pricing Payment Plan Payment Plans This season, we’re excited to offer a FLEXIBLE MONTHLY INSTALLMENT PLAN , making camp more accessible for all families. Here's how it works: payments are automatically scheduled for the 20th of each month leading up to camp. It’s a simple way to spread out the cost, ensuring your camper can enjoy their summer without the financial strain hitting all at once. However, we understand that every family’s situation is different. If the preset dates don’t fit your budget, don’t worry. Reach out to our main office, and we’ll gladly adjust the payment schedule to better suit your needs—whether that’s moving to different monthly dates or even switching to a bi-weekly plan. We know camp can be costly, but our goal is to make it work for you, so your camper can have their best summer yet. Scholarships We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience camp. If you cannot afford Tier III pricing, we offer scholarships to help make camp accessible. To apply, please email info@campisbetter.com or call us at 519-764-2317 for a scholarship application. Applications are open now and must be submitted by March 31st each year. Scholarships

Prepared with care and served with a smile, our food is a highlight of the camp experience. Explore our Food at Camp page to learn more about our nutritious offerings and dining traditions! Our Main Camp Dining Experience *Wilderness Camps eat separately and cook their food over campfires & a grill* Cafeteria Style We serve cafeteria style, allowing campers to feel more in control of their own food choices. Options Bar At every meal, we have an options bar. During breakfast this includes multiple kinds of cereal, yogurt, fruit, and sometimes muffins. At lunch and dinner, we offer a salad and veggie bar with a large variety of toppings and dressings. Dietary Restrictions Our kitchen staff strive to prepare a menu that includes gluten-friendly, dairy-friendly, and vegetarian options. If your camper needs additional substitutes, you are required to provide us with those replacement items. Your camper's week menu is available by request at info@campisbetter.com . Our facility is a nut-safe facility, please do not send substitutes containing nut products, such as almond milk. Seating Campers are very welcome to sit anywhere in the dining hall, without needing to stay with their cabin groups. Feel free to join friends or staff members you’ve met from other cabins and enjoy your meals together. Indoor/Outdoor Dining Campers can choose to sit in the dining hall or enjoy their meals outside on the porch, which can offer a quieter space for a more relaxed dining experience. Traditions At camp, meal times are filled with traditions and fun! Every Thursday night, we have a themed dinner with decorations and costumes, bringing the week's theme to life. Once a week, we enjoy a picnic outdoors, and some meals come with a twist like eating with random utensils for extra laughs! Snacks Campers enjoy two daily snack times; one in the afternoon, typically a refreshing fruit, and another just before campfire, adding a sweet treat to end the day. Camper Contributions Campers help to scrape and clean up their plates after eating, and entire cabins take turns volunteering to set the tables. Older campers also have the chance to serve food, giving them extra opportunities to step up and contribute. Menu Examples The specific menu for your camper's week is available upon request by emailing info@campisbetter.com

PW Inclusion Program Program Overview The Inclusion Program at Pearce Williams gives campers extra support so they can feel included and have fun at camp. Campers and volunteers are matched 1:1 with an inclusion staff member who helps with care needs and joining in activities. We plan each camper’s time at camp based on what they can do, what they like, and how much help they need, so everyone can enjoy camp in a way that works for them. Because this 1:1 support needs extra staff, there is an additional camp fee to help cover the cost of this support Age Groups & Activities Campers (Ages 5–17): Participants are integrated into regular camp activities based on their abilities and interests. Our goal is to ensure they can engage meaningfully and enjoyably in all aspects of camp life. Volunteers (Ages 18 +): Older participants are considered volunteers. They take part in camp activities while also completing daily volunteer tasks to help build life skills. Examples of these tasks include: Setting tables Sweeping various areas Folding birthday cards Managing mail collection and delivery These responsibilities foster a sense of contribution to the camp community while allowing participants to enjoy the camp experience. There is a limited amount of volunteer positions each summer. Application Process When you express interest in our inclusion program, the first step is to set up an interview with our Director of Camps and Programs to talk through your camper’s needs and ensure that Pearce Williams is a good fit. If together we decide it is a good match, you will then be invited to register your camper for a week of camp. After registration, families of inclusion campers complete additional paperwork so we can get to know your camper in more detail and plan appropriate supports. Before summer begins, we also like to arrange a tour of camp so your family can see the site, meet some staff, and help your camper feel comfortable before their week away. Our Inclusion Facilitator will connect with you prior to your camper’s session to make sure we have everything needed to give them a successful week at camp, and you are always welcome to contact our office with any questions about our inclusion program. Program Limitations While Pearce Williams can accommodate a variety of disabilities, we recognize that our resources and expertise may not meet every camper’s needs. In such cases, we may need to decline a camper’s application. Families are encouraged to discuss their needs with us to determine if our program is the right fit for their child.
