Although it may seem expensive, when you split the cost between a larger group of this size, not only does it seem more reasonable of a cost, but in fact, you will possibly be paying less than you would be if you were to have to drive them to the camp (if it's in a different state), or if you were to send them by plane. Plus on a private place, you know who they will be with, unlike on a plane ride.
