Using Program Credits to pay for camp
If your camper sells 3,000+ packages of Girl Scout Cookies and
chooses a free week of camp, or 5,000+ for two free weeks, they must
still register following the standard camp registration process to
reserve their spot. All camp registrations require a $75 deposit
payment at the time of registration to hold the camp session. Once the
Girl Scout Cookie Program is complete and all prizes are confirmed,
campers who elect a free week of camp will be refunded the deposit
paid to hold their camp spot.
Using Desert Dollars to pay for camp
If your camper plans to pay with their Desert Dollars earned
from the Fall Product and/or Cookie Programs, they must still be
registered following the standard camp registration process to reserve
their spot. All camp registrations require a $75 deposit payment at
the time of registration to hold the camp session. A completed Desert
Dollar redemption form and Desert Dollars must be mailed to GSDSW
Attn: Desert Dollar Redemption, 225 E. Idaho, Suite #9, Las Cruces, NM
88005. Desert Dollars may used for the $75 deposit.
Securing financial assistance to attend camp
We believe every girl deserves to experience the magic of camp,
and we're happy to help if it is needed. To apply for Resident Camp
Financial Assistance, please go to www.gsdsw.org. Typically, financial
assistance covers up to 50% of camp fees. When applying for financial
assistance, follow the standard camp registration process to reserve
your spot. All camp registrations require a $75 deposit payment at the
time of registration to hold the camp session. Awarded financial
assistance will be used to help pay the balance.
Cancelation and Program Transfer Charge Policy
We understand that sometimes plans change. If a camper cannot
attend, please email info@gsdsw.org attn: Resident Camp as soon as
possible. Cancellations made more than four weeks from the start of
the registered session will receive a full refund minus the $75
deposit. After that date, no refunds will be given.
If a camper needs to change which week or program she is attending, please contact info@gsdsw.org as soon as possible. There is a $25 fee for transferring from one session or program to another.
