FAMILY PRICING FOR 2025:
Pricing for Listen CI Camp is based on the number of family members attending.  The family portion of the registration fee covers 40% of the actual cost for each family to attend camp.  To keep camp affordable for all, the Listen Foundation fundraises to cover the remaining 60% of the cost for each family.  All lodging, meals, and Listen CI Camp activities for the four-day, three-night weekend are included.  The family portion of the registration fee is:

Family of 2:  $900.00
Family of 3:  $1,000.00
Family of 4:  $1,100.00
Family of 5:  $1,200.00

During the registration process, families will be given the option of paying the full amount or paying 50% with the balance billed to the credit card used during registration on March 1.  Regardless of circumstance, refunds are not available unless the Listen Foundation is able to fill your cancellation, in which case the registration fee will be refunded, less a $25 administrative fee.  As such, all families are strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance.

Financial assistance in the form of partial “camp scholarships” is available for families who cannot otherwise afford the family portion of the registration fee.  Please see the Financial Scholarship page for information regarding the scholarship application process.

Together with our host vendor, YMCA of the Rockies – Estes Park, Colorado, we look forward to welcoming you to camp!  Our combined hope is to provide connection, education, and recreation, uniting all families in the Listen CI Camp community.

2025 Listen CI Camp Policies

• To make the most of our time together, days are intentionally full of recreational activities carefully selected to facilitate bonding and learning from each other.  It’s your participation with other families that makes camp so special- camp isn’t camp without you actively engaged!  If you would like to explore Rocky Mountain National Park or other offerings at the YMCA, please make arrangements to stay in the area a few extra days before or after camp for your family vacation.
• The June session is open to families with CI recipients Entering 5^th Grade in Fall, 2025, through 2025 High School Graduates.
  The July session is open to families with CI recipients Age 3 through Entering 4^th Grade in Fall, 2025.
  Please register for the appropriate session based on the grade your cochlear implant child(ren) will enter in Fall, 2025, to avoid removal.  (Siblings may fall outside the age range- up to age 18.)
• Every member of your family who will attend camp must be registered, regardless of age.
• To keep camp affordable for all, Listen Foundation fundraises to cover 60% of the cost of camp for each family.  In keeping with the mission, Listen Foundation seeks to serve the greatest number of families possible, therefore rooms are limited to one per family.  Additionally, the YMCA limits room capacity to five people, regardless of age.  The five must be immediate family members (CI child(ren), parents/legal guardians, and siblings up to 18 years of age).  After registering, if you desire a second room for the remainder of your 6+ member immediate family, please email Camp@ListenFoundation.org , to be added to a waitlist in the unlikely event that an extra room is available 30 days prior to the camp.
• Families with multiple CI children, fitting the age criteria for both sessions, may choose the session that best fits the independence level of the CI children.  Please contact the Listen CI Camp Director at Camp@ListenFoundation.org for additional guidance.
• In the interest of providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all, background checks are required of all Participants age 18 and above and will be conducted as part of the registration process.  
• All Participants are subject to, and agree to abide by, the rules and regulations implemented by Listen Foundation and YMCA of the Rockies which is the host vendor.

• Listen Foundation does not provide the food, lodging, cleaning, supervision of children, or adventure activities at the Premises.  Parents are responsible for the supervision, safety, and behavior of their children which includes one parent directly supervising his/her child(ren) under the age of 5 at all times as well as his/her child(ren) age 5 and above when not signed out to Listen CI Camp volunteers.  Additionally, each family is required to have at least one parent at the Premises at all times.
• Disrespect toward other people, property, policies, programs, facilities, Listen Foundation, or YMCA of the Rockies will be addressed by the Listen CI Camp Director and may result in family dismissal.

• Firearms, illicit drugs, marijuana, CBD and THC products, controlled substances, drones, pets, and approaching wildlife are strictly prohibited.  Smoking and vaping are permitted only in designated outdoor smoking areas containing fire-safe ashtrays.  Violation will result in family dismissal. 
• As a family program, Listen CI Camp has a strict no alcohol policy.  Participants, family members, or campers displaying signs of inebriation or exhibiting disruptive or unsafe behavior will result in family dismissal.
• All travel related refund policies are not the responsibility of Listen CI Camp or Listen Foundation and any penalties for cancellation are Participant’s sole responsibility.
• Regardless of circumstance, refunds are not available unless Listen Foundation is able to fill the Participants’ spot with another family.  If a replacement family is found, the registration fee will be refunded, less a $25 administrative fee.
• All Participants are strongly encouraged to purchase travel insurance.
