Parks department raises art and sewing camp supply fees to cover rising costs
Summary
The commission approved an increase in supply fees for several camps (art and sewing), raising the supply portion from $50 to $75. The camps’ registration fee remains separate; staff said financial aid is available on request.
The Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Commission approved a $25 increase in supply fees for several camps, raising the supply charge from $50 to $75 for art and sewing camps.
Parks staff explained the $50 supply fee no longer covers materials for projects such as aprons, quilting batting, binding and other consumables. The camp registration fee remains separate at $100; with the supply increase the total out-of-pocket cost for those camps would rise from $150 to $175. Rachel (Parks staff) said the department will accommodate financial-aid requests.
A roll-call vote recorded all commissioners present voting "Aye." Staff said the change is intended to match rising costs while preserving program quality.
Commissioners did not specify a phased implementation or the exact date the higher fee takes effect; staff indicated the change will apply for upcoming camp offerings.
