Sponsorships & Discounts

Tiered Pricing

As a ministry of the Holston Conference of the UMC, we are a ministry partially funded by the church. This funding allows us to offer summer camp registration at a cost below what it actually costs to put on our summer camp program. All campers will have the same experience regardless of which tier a family is able to pay.

The tier selected by the family will be kept confidential.

Tier 1: Subsidized rate- this rate is only possible because of individual donors and contributions from the District and Conference.
Tier 2: Partially Subsidized Rate- halfway between the subsidized cost and the true cost.
Tier 3: True Cost- reflects the full cost of everything associated with our summer camp program.

When a family choses to register for Tier 2 or Tier 3, Camp Dickenson is able to invest the funding that comes from the church into maintaining and upgrading the property, to ensure high quality ministry at Camp Dickenson for years to come.

You will find all three of these pricing options on each of the program listings in Ultracamp that offer tier pricing.

Local Church Sponsorship

Many of our local churches provide financial assistance to help members send their children to camp. We encourage you to check with your local church before registering to see if financial help is available. Before you register, you will need to receive from your church the amount of the sponsorship and a sponsorship code.

District Discounts

All families who attend a New River District United Methodist Church are eligible for a $200 discount. This discount code is distributed through the local churches. Check with your pastor, youth leader, lay leader, or church secretary to get the code for this year. Please get your code BEFORE making the final payment on your registration.

Prison Fellowship - Angel Tree Camping

Prison Fellowship is a ministry dedicated to serving incarcerated individuals and their families. Through their Angel Tree Camping program, they support children attending camp at partnership camps throughout the nation. We are proud to be an AT Camping partner camp.

Any child that has a currently incarcerated parent or step-parent, or any child who lives in a home with a child who has an incarcerated parent or step-parent, is eligible. Become an Angel Tree Family today to get connected with all the Prison Fellowship programs.

Dickenson Sponsorships

PLEASE DO NOT LET FINANCES PREVENT YOU FROM REGISTERING FOR CAMP! Camp Dickenson has financial aid available to help families who may need assistance paying for camp. Funds are limited and distributed based on financial need. In order to support as many families as possible with the funds we have, families requesting more than $250 towards their registration will need to provide a reference. We also encourage families to reach out to their home church, or other local charitable organizations to inquire about support for their families.

You can complete your sponsorship request using the portal below. If you would also prefer a paper copy, you may print the application document and submit it via email or mail.

Submit for sponsorship using this portal.

Please register your camper prior to applying for sponsorship. Only camp office staff are aware of who receives sponsorship funds.
