All About Camp Fees

Main Menu Day Camp Programs

Day Camps
• Full payment is preferred with registration; however, a deposit of $25 per session is required to hold a space. Payment in full is due 4 weeks before the start of each session, or the space and deposit will be forfeited and the space offered to girls on the waiting list.  A late fee of $10 per session will be charged for all balances paid after the deadline.  All deposits are non-refundable.

•  There is no guarantee that late registrations can or will be accepted. Registration is requested one month or more before the camp date so that safety standards for camper/staff ratios are met and that space and supplies are available to ensure a quality program. Early registration is encouraged.

Camperships
Camperships, based on financial need, are available to registered, active Tarheel Triad Girl Scouts. Parents who need financial assistance should complete and return the Confidential General Campership Form and the Camp Registration Form with the required deposit. The campership application deadline is April 30. All information is confidential. If the campership grant plus deposit fall short of the session fee and parents immediately notify the council that they cannot pay the difference, the deposit paid will be refunded. Also, if applying for a campership but also paying the remainder of the fee by credit card, only the deposit or the amount indicated by the parents will be charged to the card before the campership is granted. After the council grants the campership and the parents accept it, then the remainder will be charged to their credit card.

Cookie Dough
If your daughter’s troop chooses an individual Cookie Dough option (Option B) and not the troop cash option (Option A), then you may apply the Cookie Dough your daughter earned to the fees for any of our GSTTC day or resident camp sessions. No deposit is required with registration if using Cookie Dough, and the amount awarded will cover these costs. If there is a difference in the amount of the Cookie Dough awarded and the session fees, the family must pay the balance. When Cookie Dough credit is higher than the camp fee, the difference
will be refunded with additional Cookie Dough being issued directly to your daughter; however, the balance may be applied to another session of camp if requested. Cookie Dough may be redeemable for all GSTTC summer camps; GSTTC council programs; Destinations; KPC Trading Post; GSTTC membership; GSTTC annual fund; and at the GSTTC Girl Scout Shop. Cookie Dough is not transferable and must be used by Sept. 30 immediately after the Girl Scout Cookie Program in which it was earned. (See your Cookie Dough certificates for more detailed information.) It is not necessary to wait for council certification of the Cookie Dough earned to register for camp. If you have concerns about your daughter’s Cookie Dough or cookie recognition option chosen, talk to your daughter’s troop cookie manager.

Cancellations/Transfers/Refunds:
• A full refund will be made for girls who cannot be placed in their 1st or 2nd choice indicated on their registration form and choose not to accept another session. Notify the council immediately.
