The fees to attend week-long Scouts BSA Resident Summer Camp in 2020 are as follows.

Scout Fees

Early Fee: $435

A $50 deposit per Scout camper is due no later than March 15, 2020. If paid in full by May 1, 2020, the fee will be $435; payments received after May 1, 2020 will be charged the regular rate of $460.

Regular Fee: $460

The fee is $460 for payments made between May 1, 2020 and June 15, 2020.

Late Fee: $495

The fee is $495 for payments made after June 15, 2020.

Discounts for Scouts

Encore (2^nd week of camp): $335

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 (or more) week at one of the Connecticut Rivers Council’s camps.

Sibling Discount:

A $25 discount will be given to help out those families with siblings attending Resident Camp. The discount will apply to each sibling from the same family.

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 — $435

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 15^th 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 15^th and the beginning of the troop’s week at camp.

Camperships

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.

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.

FAQs

Question

I don’t know what Scouts in my troop are going to attend camp by the March 15^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 Scouts you think will be attending. 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 15^th?

Answer

Yes, as stated above, campership applicants are always afforded the lowest possible camp fee. Naming them by March 15^th helps the Camp Directors in planning for a great summer program.
