2010 How to Reserve A Spot

Each unit reserves space for summer camp by submitting the Camp Reservation Form and returning it with a $50 non-refundable deposit. The deposit is credited to your final balance.

The Camp Reservation Form allows you to choose a week and reserve a campsite at Sand Hill. When the form is approved, your unit is guaranteed those dates for summer camp. While dates may be guaranteed, campsites are not. We reserve the right to place troops in campsites based on attendance and facilities available.

2010 When to Pay Your Fees

Before April 1st, each troop needs to submit a deposit of $25 per camper. Payment of the balance of all standard camp fees should occur by April 1st for the lowest rate. Any program fees should be paid upon your arrival at summer camp.

It is preferred that all fees be paid in advance at the council service center prior to arriving at camp.

2010 Refund Policy

Refunds can be given up to June 1st.  After June 1st, camp fees are transferable, but not refundable. Refunds will only be made in extenuating circumstances such as illness or death; these will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Refunds will be paid by check from the council service center. No refunds will be given at camp.

Refunds must be requested in writing and signed by the Scoutmaster and Committee Chairman within two weeks of the last day of the troop's summer camp. If the time has expired, refunds will not be granted.

2010 Camperships

A limited number of partial camperships are available for West Central Florida Council Scouts with financial need. Camperships are defined as partial payment (up to ½ of the $197 or $98.50) for summer camp fees. It is the responsibility of the boy and/or the troop to provide the balance of camper fees as well as any requisite program fees. Applications requesting the full camper fee will not be approved. A maximum of five (5) camperships will be awarded each week. Unit leaders are encouraged to plan ahead and discuss fees, fundraising opportunities, and/or financial need with parents well in advance of payment deadlines. The application form can be found here online. Camperships must be applied for by April 1st. Contact the Camp Director for more information.
