High Adventure & Special Programs

Reservations & payment required by June 1st.

Scout Leader Fees

The first two adults are free for each unit that attends camp. Two adults must be with all units throughout the week. With 17 Scouts or more, a third leader goes free; 25 Scouts, a fourth free, etc. Additional leaders beyond this quota, based on the unit's attendance, can attend camp at an additional cost of $100.00 per week. This fee is to be paid upon arrival at camp.

2nd Week Policy

Scouts who would like to spend a second week at camp may do so for $25.00 off of the in-council fee. 

• The Scout will be considered a provisional camper during his second week and be "adopted" by a unit within camp. 
• Each scout must complete and submit our Provisional Scouting/2nd Week Registration form. 
• 2nd Week applicants must have the application submitted to the Camp Administration or Council Service Center at least 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the second week. 

Provisional Campers

• Provisional Applications are due by May 15th in order to receive the early bird discount. 

Payment of Camp Fees

• Payment of Camp Fees Fees are payable at the Baden-Powell Council Service Center by Cash, Check, Visa or MasterCard. 
• Unless specifically denoted as being payable upon arrival at camp all payments must be submitted prior to a unit's arrival. 
• Late fees will be assessed for payments not made by their deadlines - there are no exceptions to this policy. This will be enforced strictly.

Baden-Powell Council Refund Policy
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Several months before camp opens, extensive planning, pre-camp purchasing, and staff contractual agreements are carried out. Due to these types of commitments, it is not practical to give full refunds. All refunds will be assessed a minimum $25.00 for book-keeping expense. Refunds will be granted for the following cases only: (NO EXCEPTIONS). To avoid future problems, please, make sure the parents/guardians are aware of this policy.

• Summer School - Documentation from the school must be provided with a written request, and MUST be submitted before the check-in day of the week the Scout would have attended camp.
• Medical - Documentation from the Physician must be provided with the request in writing, and MUST be submitted before the check-in day of the week the Scout would have attended camp.
• Death in the Family - A letter with the request in writing from the parent/guardian.

Non-qualifying refund requests: sports (of all kind), vacation, homesickness, failure to show, change of mind, travel events, etc.

Refund checks will be returned to the UNIT only. Checks will be issued after September 15th.

Camperships

A limited number of camperships will be available for In-Council scouts whose families demonstrate a need. Camperships may be awarded up to 50% of the camp fee for resident camping programs on a first-come, first-serve basis. This assistance is available council wide.

It is now the policy of the Baden-Powell Council that camperships, for those scouts whose respective unit did not participate in either popcorn sales or FOS at least once during the calendar year, will only be approved up to 25% of the resident camp fee. The remaining percentage of cost then becomes the responsibility of those encompassing supporters of the youth's expenses.

A confidential Campership Application must be submitted - the form will be distributed with the Leader's Guide, and is also available on the council website for duplication. Parents of scouts requesting camperships should be given a copy of the form to complete. It must come back to the designated troop leadership for their permission and submission to the council. The deadline, April 1st, 2007; must be met as funding is limited and camperships may not be available after this date.

Unit Payment Plan

1. First, complete IN FULL the 2007 Resident Camp Reservation Form and submit it ASAP ---Reservations are accumulating fast- both camps are filling up, and space is limited. A non-refundable down-payment of $100.00 must accompany the reservation form. The down-payment will be subtracted from the final bill. The down-payment only covers the amount of scouts that attended camp in 2006. (If your unit did not attend a BPC camp this does not apply) If additional bunks are required for 2007 the reservation fee is $25.00 per bunk. Incomplete Reservation forms will not be accepted and will be returned to the unit until they are complete. 

2. The second payment is due March 1st. $25.00 for each scout attending camp must be paid at this time. The minimum amount acceptable is 50% of the site capacity times $25.00.

3. The FINAL payment is due May 15th to qualify for the early bird discount. When this payment is made, be sure to submit the Troop Registration Form that accompanies the Leaders Guide.
