Be sure if your camper wants to go to camp with a buddy that you plan to get together and register for the same session! When registering, you will have an opportunity to list your camp buddy’s name. As long as one camper has the buddy’s name listed, the girls will be together. • If your camper is not a member of Girl Scouts she may still come to camp. You will just need to pay the non-member price which is an additional $50. But wait! Wouldn’t it be better to register her online as a Girl Scout at www.gsutah. org (Register tab) for $15 and then register for camp? Do it! Note you will need to register as a Girl Scout at least 24 hours prior to registering for camp in order to receive the member pricing. • If you choose not to register your camper for Girl Scouts but want to attend camp, please call 801-716-5145 or email [email protected]. Summer Camp 2015 It’s your adventure— Live it! Tiered Pricing In trying to keep camp affordable to all families while also expressing the true cost of camp, we have adopted tiered pricing. All campers will experience the same camp experience regardless of which price the family can afford. Tiered prices are listed with each camp session description in the following order: Tier One/Tier Two/Tier Three. Please pick the tier your family can afford. No financial documentation is needed. Activity Scholarships are available if your family needs assistance paying Tier Three. $ $ $ 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 the standard fee for camp that we ask all families to pay and it’s our fully-subsidized fee. Apply for Activity Scholarships Activity Scholarship Information Activity Scholarships may be applied for after you have completed the initial registration and paid your $50 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit. The activity scholarship form may be found below. The form can then be mailed to: Girl Scouts of Utah, Activity Scholarship, 445 East 4500 South, Suite 125, Salt Lake City, UT 84107 or emailed to: [email protected]. All Activity Scholarship forms are due April 1. Scholarships awards will be applied to your camp balance no later than April 30. *All applications received after April 1, will be awarded based on funding available at that time. Activity Scholarship Guidelines and Procedures Purpose: To provide assistance for individual girl members who are registered Girl Scouts and wish to attend Girl Scouts of Utah-sponsored camps or programs, Girl Scouts of the USA-sponsored programs, or Girl Scout destinations. Philosophy: Activity Scholarship should fill a specific financial need. It is not a reward for being a “good Girl Scout” nor is it a way to repay volunteer work a parent might have done in Girl Scouting. It is a way for Girl Scouts of Utah to help a Girl Scout participate in an experience in which she would otherwise not be able to because of financial restraints. The decision to grant activity scholarship and the amount is made on the basis of information given on the application form. All information is kept confidential and discussed only by those responsible for allocating the money. Guidelines for granting financial assistance: 1. The request must be made on a current application form and must be completed in its entirety. 2. The dollar amount of the scholarship granted is based on availability of funds and apparent need. 3. Scholarship will be granted only to currently registered girl members, not troops. 4. Families are expected to pay a portion of the expense for the program or camp. 5. Participants in Girl Scouts of the USA international-, national- and council-sponsored opportunities may receive up to one-fourth of the actual program fees in activity scholarship. Program applications must be received by published program registration deadlines. This applies to individual girls only – not troops. 6. All activity credits must be used for program fees before the activity scholarship will be granted. Activity credits may be used for transportation and published fees only. Additional activity fees and personal items are the responsibility of the participant. 7. The scholarship may be based on the number of requests from the same family and on the total income composition. 8. The scholarship is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash. 9. Activity scholarship will be granted for only one like program per program year per girl. For example, a girl may apply for scholarship for resident camp and day camp, or resident camp and a program, not resident camp and troop camp in the same summer. 10.Programs that will be considered for scholarships are: All Girl Scouts of Utah-sponsored activities, programs and camps on a council wide, national or international level; all GSUSA-sponsored destinations listed on GSUSA’s website or other material published by the national organization.
