2025 Rates
Your camp rate is all-inclusive, covering tent cabin accommodations, meals, use of facilities, supervised age-group programs, and all activities unless otherwise indicated.
All-Inclusive Rates for Family Camp
Please note, Week 10 at Camp Oski is a 6-night stay.
As in 2024, the rates below include a Fire Assessment Fee that goes specifically to cover the skyrocketing costs of fire insurance. The fee is $14/day per camper, and close to this amount yet approximated for a per tent fee at Camps Blue and Gold. Specific rates and more details on this fee are shared below.
Each of our three camps—Blue, Gold, and Oski—has its own staff and facilities, including a common dining hall, pool, sports courts, art area, and Cub Corral (our enclosed kids’ playground). All camps serve three hearty, family-style meals each day. Please note, rates are all-inclusive though do not include taxes. Tax will be itemized separately and found on your Lair reservation when your booking is confirmed on March 13.

Camp Oski Rates for Family Camp
Camp Oski is the smallest of the three camps, affording a more intimate experience than Blue or Gold. With less emphasis on sports and competition, it is also more young family-friendly. Its cabins are set in tent circles, promoting a greater sense of camaraderie and community. When the sun goes down, parents are able to relax and unwind around a campfire located just feet from their sleeping children.
If booking one of our new winterized cabins (complete with its own bathroom, heat, fridge, microwave, etc.) there will be an additional surcharge added to camping fees. Each cabin has a minimum total charge (from $4,200 - $4,600 depending on the week), so if below minimum, an additional fee will be added. NOTE: summer stays do NOT include linens or bedding, so please bring your own.
A Fire Assessment Fee of $14/day/camper will be added to your total invoice. You can learn more about this Fire Assessment Fee below.

More about our Fire Assessment Fee
Wildfires have become a very real threat to homes and businesses throughout California and other states as well. Fire insurance rates have skyrocketed, and some insurance carriers are dropping policyholders, leaving the California wildfire insurance market altogether, which means fewer options to obtain affordable fire insurance.
These increases have greatly impacted the Lair too, and we’ve struggled to find solutions that are sustainable. In addition, like most other businesses in California, all our other costs continue to rise, including food, propane, supplies, maintenance, and wages, though the fire insurance costs have been the most significant and unpredictable. To help with 2024, the Lair will be assessing a Fire Assessment Fee that will be added to campers’ booking fees that will specifically go towards the rising cost of the Lair’s fire insurance. Our general rates will remain mostly unchanged from 2023, with this Fire Assessment Fee added.
Ready to Attend Camp?
Enjoy daily staff-led activities—or find adventure on their own. However you choose to spend your days at the Lair, by the time departure day arrives, you’ll have fallen in love with our special corner of the Sierra Nevada.
