Key info:
– Cost $300 per scout (Note real cost is $340 and if pay full by May 31 and we get $10 for recharter on time)
– Deposit $25 due April 30 (Need to get a count)
– Camperships are reductions in the total cost of camp, offered to Greater New York Councils Scouts. Several diffferent types of camperships exist. Each borough sponsors and administers its own campership program, and there are several other camperships sponsored by various groups that promote Scouting in NYC. Attached is the form for the request.
– We will work with families if the scout wants to go to camp in figuring out the cost.
– If a scout wants to go more than one week or can’t go the same week as the troop, we can make arrangement to stay with another troop.
