Financial Assistance

In addition to tiered pricing, we have camperships available for EVERY event at The Refuge. We are a non-profit with a mission and we are commited to ensuring that no one misses one of these transformational opportunities due to cost. When you register, there will always be an opportunity to pay a small deposit and then request financial assistance in whatever amount makes it possible for you to attend. See Campership Information for details.

Apply to be a Camp Counselor

There is nothing as rewarding as helping to facilitate a group of campers in creating a little taste of the world as it should be. There are many opportunities to be engaged, from weekend retreats to week-long sleepaway camps.

Camp Policies & Practices

From UCC beliefs to how we operate as leaders, here's what you need to know. These documents are updated periodically to improve how we serve our campers and guests, and reflect our commitment to growth.

Certified CampWell Camp

La Foret is a Certified CampWell Camp. CampWell is an initiative of the Aliance for Camp Health (ACH). It is a program based on extensive research on the wellbeing of youth and young adults in summer learning environments. Our counselors receive high quality, research-backed training on emotional intelligence, growth mindset, trauma-informed supervision, and much more.
