If your camper resides outside of the Girl Scouts of Northern California boundaries, an additional $50 fee will be added to her camper fee. This additional fee also covers Girl Scout registration if she is not already registered.

Confirmation of Registration

Camp registrations are confirmed once they are placed in the Girl Scout computer system regardless of whether you have received a confirmation letter. A placement confirmation letter and additional camper packet will be sent to you approximately three weeks after your camp registration has been confirmed and no sooner than February 15, 2008. Camper packets will contain dates, session, program, transportation information, suggested equipment list, health forms, insurance information and more. Please remember to read through this packet carefully as it contains important information for both campers and parents.

Refund Policy

If your selected camp session(s) are full, and no alternative can be found or if the financial aid amount requested is not fully granted, the total amount paid will be refunded. The $100 deposit will not be refunded after camp registration is confirmed. The balance of the camp fee will be refunded only if:

• Family plans change and the camper can no longer attend. (In this case, written notification must be received three weeks before the opening date of the confirmed camp session).


• The camper does not attend all or part of the camp session due to illness or injury. (A letter from a physician must accompany the refund request).


• The camper is sent home from camp due to illness or injury. (Refunds are pro-rated in such cases and will not be made for less than half of the camp session and will be made only at the request of the parent/guardian).

No refunds will be made if the camper does not attend her camp session for any other reason. Refund requests must be submitted in writing to the Girl Scouts of Northern California no later than August 30, 2008.
