Campers to Staff Ratio

At Camp Buckaroos, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our campers by tailoring our staffing ratios to meet their individual needs for assistance and supervision. Typically, our most common ratio is one staff member for every four campers. However, we understand that some campers may require additional support, including a one-to-one staff ratio. The specific rates for these ratios are determined based on the level of support needed by each camper. Our goal is to ensure that every camper receives the appropriate level of care and attention to make their experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Three days minimum: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or
Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. Monday is for elderly campers with dementia.

Daily Rate: 5 ½ hours $100.00
Extra charge for late pick up: $10.00 per minute
