6 November 2020 — Per state Phase 2.1 guidelines, overnight camping has been suspended. Units in the Connecticut Rivers Council may continue day in-person activities in accordance with state guidance. Please see ctscouting.org for full details.
More details and updates are available under the News & Events section of this website. These news articles contain the latest information available; other pages on the camp website may be out of date.
The fees to attend week-long Scouts BSA Resident Summer Camp in 2020 are as follows.
Fees for extra Scouters are calculated at $20 per day or $120 for the full week. Names of Scouters are not required until May 15. Two Scouters are free. Additional Scouters may be free according to the schedule below:
# of youth per program | # of free Scouters | all additional adults |
---|---|---|
5–10 | 2 | $120 |
11–20 | 3 | $120 |
21–30 | 4 | $120 |
31–40 | 5 | $120 |
These Scouts are always afforded the lowest possible camp fee rate. Because many troops don’t know what Webelos will be joining their troop until after the March 15th deposit date, a special registration category will be established for them. This will also include any youth who join the troop as new Scouts between March 15th and the beginning of the troop’s week at camp.
The Connecticut Rivers Council makes an effort to see that all Scouts have the chance to benefit from the programs offered at our three Camps. Should a Scout’s family be in a financial situation where assistance is needed, they may apply for a campership. Please know that camperships do not cover the full cost of registration, and are subject to approval by the Campership Committee.
Registration for all Specialty Camp programs will be accomplished by the individual. These programs will include Trail to Eagle and various other daily or weekend programs.
The Connecticut Rivers Council must commit financial resources to purchase equipment, hire staff, and otherwise prepare to provide the high quality programs in our camps well in advance of the camps opening for the summer. Participants therefore must also be prepared to make a financial commitment to attend.
Refund requests made before June 15th will be reimbursed the fee minus the cancellation fee of $75. Requests after June 15th will be reimbursed the fee minus the cancellation fee of $150.
All requests for refund consideration are to be in writing and sent either in the form of a letter or email to:
