Frequently Asked Questions My child has special needs, how will she be accommodated? Our inclusive environment helps girls of all abilities live, play and learn in a non-competitive environment. If your child requires a special diet, special health care or has a mental or emotional disability or other condition, you should contact the Outdoor Program Manager prior to registering your camper. At that time, you can discuss the nature of your campers needs. It will then be determined if the camp can provide support, supervision and necessary accommodations for your camper to have a safe and fulfilling camping experience. Handicapped accessible living areas are available. Registration Questions When can we register? Registration for 2012 Sleep Away Camp opens March 1, 2012. Registrations received before the opening date will be processed as if they were received on March 1, 2012. Where do I send the form? Mail your registration form(s) to: GSHPA, Attn: Sleep Away Camp Registrar, 350 Hale Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17104 Can my camper attend with a buddy? Yes! Your camper can request another camper as a buddy. On the form, you will find the buddy request space. Please provide her name. Make sure her buddy writes your camper’s name as well. Buddies must be participating in Traditional Camp or Ranch Camp together. Buddy requests must also be in the same grade level. Multiple buddies cannot be guaranteed placement together. A buddy request must be mutual or the request will not be honored. If I am signing my camper up for multiple weeks, can she stay over on the weekends? Unfortunately, she cannot. We have different programs and trainings that overlap during the weekends. Can my child still go to camp even though she is not a registered Girl Scout? Yes! Girl Scout camp is for all girls! For non-Girl Scouts there is an additional $12 non-refundable fee which must be included with the deposit. When is the balance for our Sleep Away Camp fee due? The balance is due June 1, 2012. All campers registering after June 1, 2012 must pay in full. Is financial assistance available? Yes! Financial assistance (camperships) is available for girls registered with Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania who demonstrate the need for financial assistance. Donations from various sources help support the campership fund. A financial assistance form must be submitted with your camper’s registration. Applicants will be notified as to whether or not they qualify for financial assistance and will be expected to pay any balance due by June 1, 2012. Confirmation Questions How and when will we know if we are officially registered for camp? Confirmations, along with your state of balance will be sent approximately three weeks after your registration is received. What will the confirmation packet contain? The confirmation packet will contain information regarding packing lists, drop off and pick up times, wildlife, trading post, check in and checkout procedures, kapers, food lodging, home sickness, behaviors and expectations, camp staff, general questions, directions to camp and more! You will also receive forms that must be filled out and brought with you to camp. Please do not mail in the forms to the Harrisburg office. Cancellations and Refunds Questions Are deposits transferrable? Deposits may be transferred to a different week for the same girl. Deposits are not transferrable between girls. Are refunds given? A full refund, less the $50 non-refundable deposit, will be processed upon written request if: • the request is made three weeks prior to the start of camp • cancellation due to illness and a physician’s statement of inability to participate is submitted within two weeks of the scheduled attendance • cancellation is due to serious illness or death in the family. Refunds will NOT be issued for no-shows. 36
