Payment Information
Girl Scouts can use program credits earned from the Fall Product and Cookie Programs to attend summer
camp. Program credits cannot be used toward the initial non-refundable deposit, but they can be applied
later to the total camp fee in the registration system.

To accommodate all of our families, there are three pricing levels. Simply choose the tier that is most
suitable for your family. This decision is made by each household and additional finance documents
will not be required. We want to make sure every girl has the opportunity to explore the outdoors!

When you register, you’ll be asked to select the tier your family can afford.
Tier A reflects the true cost of camp, including staff expenses, maintenance, food, program, and supplies.
Tier B is a partially subsidized rate, but closely reflects the costs associated with camp.
Tier C is our standard subsidized fee, supported by other revenue sources, donations, and grants.
