Camp Millhouse's co-ed summer session runs from mid-June to around the first of August. As of 2022, the actual cost to support one camper for a week is $1300. We ask that our campers pay a minimum of $800 per week but we do have voluntary tiered pricing which is explained on our website. Campers check in on Sundays and most weeks they check out on Friday afternoons. Each day campers rotate, with their cabin group, between arts and crafts, recreation, music, nature and aquatics (which takes place in our in-ground, heated, fully accessible pool). One day each week campers get to experience our low ropes challenge course that is adapted for everyone's ability. We also have wheelchair art painting and a dance each week. Currently we have 3 weeks for ages 18 and up, 1 ages 7 to 17, 1 "One"derful week for 1:1 campers and 1 sports week for campers who are independent in their care.

Financial Assistance Available

Camp Millhouse has limited funds available to offer partial assistance with camp fees. We highly recommend families reach out to their local community organizations like churches, Lion's and Kiwanis Clubs, etc.

Camp Millhouse provides three meals per day in our lodge. In addition to the day's menu, we also have a fruit and yogurt bar available at breakfast and a salad bar available at lunch and dinner each day. We can accommodate most dietary needs which should be specified when applying to camp. Campers with very specific diets may need to provide their own meals that the camp staff will ready for them to eat.
