Camper Information

Scout/Leader Deposits

• The first $50 for each Scout and Scouter is considered his or her reservation deposit and is nonrefundable, but may be transferred to another Scout or Leader in the same unit as a new reservation. This is to be paid by April 15 with the remaining balance paid by May 15.

Campsite Reservation Deposit

• Beginning at the Summer Camp Preview on March 28, 2008 reservations will be accepted for 2009 campsites. Reservation preferences received at the Camp Preview will be filled in the following order: In-Council, FOS Guardian Units, time stamp. Reservations received after the Camp Preview will be on a first come, first served basis.

• All forms must be accompanied with a $50 non-refundable unit site deposit, which will be applied toward your first camper deposit due April 15th.

• If your Unit has less than 50% of the site capacity, the Council reserves the right to assign another Unit to use the patrol areas in that site not used by your Unit.

Adult Leader Fees

• Adult Leaders attending camp for the week will pay $112 per person.

• The adult daily rate is $19 for any adults at camp for 2 or more meals. These adults should plan on paying at camp unless they are splitting the week with another leader.

Camperships
The Tesomas Alumni Camping Trust has been established to assist any Scout or Scouter with financial need to experience camping. Request for camperships must be made using the “Samoset Council Campership Application” for each person by April 1st, 2008.
 

Refunds
Camp fees are non-refundable as we encourage Units to transfer fees to another Scout from the unit who is attending camp. However, the Samoset Council will deal with each situation in which a written refund request is received and endeavor to be as fair as possible. All refunds are calculated after the $50 nonrefundable deposit. These are the guidelines we follow:

• Sickness, injury or family tragedy during camp resulting in the Scout being sent home:
  Sun/Mon - 50% refunded; Tues/Wed - 25% refunded; Thurs/Fri - no refund.

• Sickness, injury or family tragedy before camp resulting in the Scout not attending:
  Notification before camp week - 100% refunded; Notification at check-in during camp week - 50% refunded; Notification after check-in - no refund.

• All other reasons (baseball tournament, change in vacation plans, etc): Notification at least 10 days before your camp date - 50% refunded; Less than 10 days, no refund.

Refunds must be submitted using the camp refund request form available at the Program Center, Scout Center or online. Refunds will be issued after Sept 1, 2008.
