How Much does it Cost?

There is a $50 registration donation to the Madison Police Foundation to help offset the cost of t-shirts and consumable items used, with an additional cost of $5 if you wish to receive a DVD of the camp’s activities during the week your child attends. Scholarships may be available through the Madison Police Foundation. Registration donations are non-refundable. The Madison Police Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, so parents can get a tax deduction for Kids Camp donations.

What Should I Send with my Child to Camp?
