What are the fees like for Camp Waziyatah


Cheap, expensive?

Thanks for any help.

Korn I have always wondered that myself so I took the liberty of investigating that one.. I found this info at the camps website which is

http://www.wazi.com/about_wazi-datesrates.html

but you'll have to take into account inflation and the popularity of the camp after the show was aired so who knows what the rates were back in the late nineties.

I hope this helps!!

Campers do not need pocket money while at camp

wow that's ridiculous . the camp didn't look THAT great

I know I thought the exact same thing... But I guess if you had a camp that a popular kids/teen channel filmed a show at you could do whatever you want with the prices I mean I can only imagine how many kids/teens wanted to go to the camp after seeing the first season I know I did... But I seriously doubt many of the campers today are even aware that the camp was even associated with disney at any time. Although i could be wrong on this it wouldnt be the first time..

I went to the camp. It really was an amazing camp, but I'm guessing the fees went up after the show aired because so many people wanted to go just because it was the Bugjuice camp.


There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.

The pricing is crazy. I went to France & Spain with my school for less than $2,500!

They're a little on the high side, but not by much. Sleepaway camps run about $1000 a week (according to the National Camp Association). At least they have a wide variety of activities. The camp I went to (Royal Rock in Westchester County,NY) had a pool, archery range, various athletic fields, and arts and crafts. That was it. Oh, and the big event of the summer was basically a glorified version of hide-and-seek. Good times...




Come...let us gingerly touch our tips.

If i was gonna choose to go to camp, i aint gonna choose this one seeing though the price is so dam high.

If i had that much money right now, i would be going to disney for almost 3wks straight.


I say who cares if the show was shot there, that camp looks run-down to me
