New three-tiered pricing...Pick the fee that works for your family!
A new, three-tiered payment program based on the honor system will help keep Girl Scout camps available to every girl, regardless of her family's financial situation. Whenever possible, please pay Tier A prices so our council can continue to provide highly qualified staff and relevant programs at well-maintained camps.
Each camper receives the same level of attention, food, accommodations and care, regardless of the fee she pays.
| Tier A |
|
Tier B |
|
Tier C |
| Tier A prices cover the actual cost of providing camp for a girl (including camp fees, staff salaries, wear-and-tear on building and grounds, etc.). |
|
Tier B prices partially subsidize campers whose families are unable to pay the entire actual cost of camp. |
|
Tier C prices are heavily subsidized for those unable to pay either the actual cost or the partially subsidized fee.
Families that cannot afford Tier C prices may request additional financial assistance to ensure their girls can experience the joys and benefits of the Girl Scout camp experience. |
Bring a friend!
Registered Girl Scouts can bring a non-Girl Scout friend to camp and get $10 off their own camp fees. Girls need to register together by mailing forms in the same envelope, faxing them at the same time or following the instructions online.
