Financial Assistance

We believe all girls should have the opportunity to benefit from the Girl Scout program experience. We recognize that it may not be possible for all families to afford registration fees. Depending on available funding, a limited amount of financial assistance may be available to cover part of, or the entire fee. • An applicant for financial assistance must be a registered Girl Scout in Girl Scouts of Texas Oklahoma Plains. • Financial Assistance applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. All requests for financial assistance will receive a response. Applications are included in back of this book. • Only one application for financial assistance can be awarded each year, per girl.

Session Placement and Confirmation

Within two weeks of placement, parents will receive a written confirmation postcard or letter of placement or wait list status. Confirmation letters will include additional information and directions to the camp location and a full address for Summer Extreme events. Please do not call to confirm placement or wait-list status before April 15, to allow time for processing initial registrations. If you do not receive a confirmation card or letter at least seven days prior to the event start date, please contact the registrar’s office to verify placement or wait list status.

Waiting Lists and Cancellations Waiting Lists • •

If a session is full, parents will be notified that their daughter has been placed on a wait list. If space becomes available, parents will be contacted. If a girl cannot be placed, her fee will be refunded.

Cancellation Policy • • • • • • • •

To cancel a registration for a summer event, contact the council office registrar either by phone or email. If a participant cancels before registration closes, a refund of the activity fee, less 20%, will be given. If a participant cancels after the registration close date, no refund will be given. If a girl does not attend an activity, a refund will be made for medical reasons only. A written request for a refund, accompanied by a doctor’s statement, must be received within 30 days of the activity missed. If the camp health supervisor sends a camper home for medical reasons, and the camper does not return to camp for the remainder of the time, a refund will be made on a pro-rated basis. If a girl leaves the event or camp early for any reason other than for a medical reason, no refund will be made. If a girl is placed on the waiting list and cannot be placed, a full refund will be issued. If the event is cancelled, a full refund will be issued. Reasons for cancelling include, but are not limited to, severe weather or not reaching the minimum number of participants.

Other Information Adult Volunteers

Specific Information for Day/Twilight Camp Volunteers • • •

Except for family events, adults are not required to stay for Summer Extreme events. If your schedule permits or requires you to stay at the activity due to travel times or other reasons, please consider volunteering to help at the event. Your help is needed!


One of the excellent Girl Scout Leadership Experience opportunities for older girls is to become a Program Aide. Program Aides are trained girls ages 12 – 17 who make a commitment to teach skills to younger Girl Scouts. Day/Twilight Camp provides a wonderful opportunity for Program Aides to accumulate service hours while honing their leadership skills. Girls who apply to be a Day/Twilight Camp Program Aide must have completed a Basic Program Aide course plus either: 1. Program Aide Outdoor Skill Builder camping weekend or; 2. Program Aide Day/Twilight Camp Specialization. (Program Aide trainings are listed at www.gs-top.org/events and in the leader enewsletter, The Runner) Program Aides should complete a Day/Twilight Camp Registration form and a Summer Volunteer Application. Place both applications in an envelope marked “Day/Twilight Camp Program Aide,” and mail or take to the council office. Camp Directors make decisions on how many Program Aides each camp needs and will contact the applicant within two weeks of placement. Because Program Aides are “working” much of the day, no fee is charged for the girls to participate and earn service hours.

Summer Extreme Tagalongs

A tagalong is a child not registered in the activity, such as a sibling of any age. Tagalongs are not covered by Girl Scout insurance and change the dynamics of the event, taking away from an equal learning environment for the girls and/or the event facilitator. Tagalongs may not attend Summer Extreme events.

Transportation

Transportation to and from summer activities is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

Girls with Special Needs

Please inform us of any special adaptations or accommodations necessary to assist your daughter’s participation in summer program. Be sure to attach a detailed note with the registration forms.
