Personal, Trip & Outing Expenses
Campers sometimes want extra money when they go out of camp on trips. For example, they may want to buy souvenirs or mementos on that special trip to Bar Harbor. For these purchases, we include in your invoice a $150 fee for a Half Session Camper and a $250 fee for a Full Session Camper for all off-campus trips.
Credit Card Policy
All campers must have a credit card on file for any medical or pharmaceutical expenses. We accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Tuition may be charged to a credit card as well, but a 3% processing fee is added to all charges made after the initial deposit of $1,500
Laundry
The camp provides, at no extra charge, weekly laundry service for the campers. Each camper’s laundry is washed individually and returned the next day, clean and folded.
Private Tennis
Private tennis lessons offer individualized attention to help your daughter achieve her tennis goals and reach her maximum potential. Campers work with nationally-ranked college and professional tennis players on one of our nine tennis courts. Private lessons are offered for $50/session.
Matoaka Clothing
Campers should be comfortable and ready to play at all times. They are encouraged to show their Matoaka spirit throughout the summer on Matoaka Mondays and should wear Matoaka clothing whenever they are out of camp. Matoaka clothing and other amenities are available from The Camp Spot, our official camp outfitter. A catalog is sent to our camp families in January. The Camp Spot can be reached at (800) 705-2267 or by visiting their website.
Horseback Lessons
Horseback Riding (English) lessons are offered either 3 times per week or 6 times per week. Our experienced riding instructors work with campers at any level on equitation skills. Lesson themes vary from walk-trot drills to advanced competitive jumping. Every camper involved in the Riding Program also receives a light horse management course in addition to her in-saddle instruction. Full Session Riding = $1000; Half Session Riding = $650.
