When to Pay Your Fees:

Before June 1st, each den needs to submit a deposit of $25 per camper. Payment of the balance of all standard camp fees should occur by June 1st to avoid additional fees. Any program fees should be paid upon arrival at summer camp. It is preferred that all fees, aside from Program fees, be paid in advance at the Council Service

Center prior to arriving at camp.

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 $80 or $40.00) for summer camp fees. It is the responsibility of the boy and/or the unit to provide the balance of camper fees as well as any required program fees. Applications requesting the full camper fee will not be approved. A maximum of five (5) camperships will be awarded each week; no more than 2 per unit. Unit leaders are encouraged to plan ahead and discuss fees, fundraising opportunities, and/or financial need with parents well in advance of payment deadlines. An application form may be found in the Appendix. Camperships must be applied for by April 1st. Contact the Camp Director for more information.

 

Get your Physicals: EVERY SCOUT AND ADULT MUST HAVE A COMPLETE ANNUAL BSA HEALTH AND MEDICAL RECORD

Camp Physicals:

The BSA has adopted a new Annual Health & Medical Form. Part B of this form is completed by a physician annually for all members (youth and adult) and will be required for any activity that exceeds 72 consecutive hours, resident camps, or for strenuous and physically demanding activities. In addition, there are new weight restrictions for activities where the Scouts & leaders will be more than 30 minutes away from an area where they could be picked up by an ambulance. The new form will be required for summer camp. There is no substitute to this form.

Youth Protection Guidelines must be followed. This includes that no adult can stay in a tent with any Scout unless it is his parent.

Youth Protection:

One-on-one contact between adults and youth members is not permitted. In situations that require a personal conference, the meeting is to be conducted in view of others. Adult leaders must respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing into swimming suits or taking showers at camp and intrude only to the extent that health and safety requires. Scout campers must extend the same courtesy. When camping, no youth is permitted to sleep in the tent of an adult other than that of his parent or guardian. Shower facilities at the pool house are available for troop leaders. When female leaders are present in camp, signs are available to indicate the gender of the latrine or shower occupant.

Visitors/Volunteers:

All visitors/ Volunteers must check in at the camp office in the main parking lot upon arrival on the property. Visitors will receive an ID badge that must be returned prior to leaving. All volunteers must be approved by the camp director or his designee.
