Tiered Pricing
Why are there three prices listed? What do I actually pay? GSOSW has adopted tiered pricing to keep camp affordable for all families while also expressing the true cost of camp. All campers will enjoy the same camp experience regardless of which price the family can afford. Tier one is the actual cost to run our camps. This reflects staffing, program supplies, food and maintenance costs. Tier two is a partially subsidized cost of camp, for families that can pay a little more but not the actual cost of camp. Tier three is our standard subsidized fee. Please pick the tier your family can afford. Tiered prices are listed with each camp session description in the following order: tier one/tier two/tier three. Note: When using Personify registration system online, only one price will be visible (Tier 1). To select another price after registering, see camper confirmation.
TIER 1
reflects the actual cost of camp.
TIER 2
is partially subsidized, for families who can pay a little more, but not the full cost of camp.
TIER 3
is our standard subsidized fee.
Regardless of what tier your family is able to pay, all girls will enjoy the same high-quality camp experience.
Financial Assistance
Medical Accommodations
Girl Scouts OSW will make reasonable effort to accommodate medical needs. If your camper needs specific accommodations, please contact Lauren Shapiro (see information below) to discuss a possible arrangement. You are encouraged to disclose medical conditions, special needs, allergies and dietary restrictions on your Health History/Camper Release Form. Understanding your camper’s needs helps camp staff ensure the best possible camp experience for your girl.
Camp with a Friend
When two campers want to attend a camp program together, they should each indicate that they want to be “buddies” on their registration form. This will ensure that the campers sleep in the same dwelling. Both campers must meet the grade requirements for the program. Buddies will be encouraged to also get to know other girls in the unit and will not always be in the same day/ activity group. Buddy groups of more than two may not be accommodated.
Trading Post
The trading post (camp store) will be at resident camp this year! Packages will be available for pre-order and merchandise will also be available for campers to purchase while at camp. Money for packages and camper accounts must be paid two weeks prior to the camper arriving at camp. See camper confirmation for details.
