HERMANN SONS LIFE CAMP Our Camp is located near Comfort in the Texas Hill Country. Participation Information • Members ages 9-14 as of September 1 of the current year, with life insurance premiums and dues paid current, are eligible to attend the week-long sessions. Mini-camp is offered to members who will be 8 or 9 years of age as of September 1 of the current year. • If your client is a new member, the insurance application must be approved by the Underwriter before he/she can register to attend Camp. The Member Benefits Department will mail the instructions on how to register so the camper can register online as soon as the certificate is issued. • Registration starts no later than March (in February when possible) and campers are accepted on a first come first serve basis. After May 15, campers are allowed to register for a second full-week session in weeks where space is still available. Members interested must be registered online and fees paid no later than two weeks before their desired week at Camp. • There is no guarantee that there will be an available spot in the week any camper wishes to go and there is no waiting list. Registration is running 24/7 on a first come first serve basis. If you have a client tell you they will wait until next year, we encourage you to sell their insurance certificate now so they will receive their registration information in February/March of the next year and can register right away. • The fees are listed in the registration brochure. • One way e-mails and a water bottle are included in the fees. Registration Packets are mailed to the payor of the certificate in February/March and include instructions on how to register and pay online. A list of activities can be found on our website.
