The fees to attend week-long Scouts BSA Resident Summer Camp in 2019 are as follows.

Scout Fees

Early Fee: $425

A $50 deposit per named Scout camper is due no later than Wednesday March 6, 2019. If paid in full by May 15, 2019, the fee will be $425; payments received after May 15, 2019 will be charged a late fee of $25, making the total fee $450.

Regular Fee: $450

A $50 deposit per named Scout added to your camp roster after March 6, 2019. If paid in full by May 15, 2019, the fee will be $450. Payments received after May 15, 2019 will be charged a late fee of $40, making the total fee $490.

Discounts for Scouts

Encore (2^nd week of camp): $325

The registration process will require the Scout’s other camp/week to be identified. To qualify, a Scout must have already spent a week in a Scouts BSA Camp or National High Adventure Base, and the discount applies to a second week at one of the Connecticut Rivers Council’s camps.

Adult Scouter Fees

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:

Webelos Crossovers & New Scouts

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 6 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 6 and the beginning of the troop’s week at camp.

Camperships

The Connecticut Rivers Council will continue to award camperships to assist Scouts in need of funds to attend camp who might not otherwise do so. The annual campership fund is limited and fluctuates from year to year. Similar to Webelos crossovers and new Scouts, campership Scouts will also be afforded the lowest possible rate to attend camp. The unit process for paying for these Scouts is to be determined.

Specialty Camp Programs

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.

Payments

All deposits and subsequent payments for camp must be made online through the Connecticut Rivers Council web site. Payments may be in the form of an E-Check or credit card. There is no charge to the unit using this method of payment.

FAQs

Question

I don’t know what Scouts in my troop are going to attend camp by the March 6^th Early Fee deposit date. Why should I make a deposit for the “unknown”?

Answer

Camp promotion is a year round process. The unit’s camp plans should already be on the family’s calendars. Units also should have a pretty good idea of the percentage of Scouts in the troop that attends camp. Register and make deposits for that number of named Scouts. Deposits may later be transferred between Scouts.

Question

We know our troop has Scouts that need Campership assistance in order to attend camp. Should we register them with a $50 deposit by March 6^th?

Answer

Yes, but not necessarily. As stated above, campership applicants are always afforded the lowest possible camp fee. Naming them by March 6^th helps the Camp Directors in planning for a great summer program.
