Camp Cleawox is located near Florence on the Central Oregon Coast and is surrounded by the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. In addition to traditional camp activities, this camp offers specialty programs in aquatics, ocean studies, art, and adventure travel. Camp Cleawox offers a unique mix of aquatic activities including a large fresh water lake for swimming, kayaking and canoeing, as well as access to the Pacific Ocean. Most groups have the opportunity to visit the beach for activities such as tide pooling, sand castle building and more. Camp Cleawox offers archery for campers in grades 4-12. C

Camp Whispering Winds is located west of Corvallis in the central Willamette Valley. This camp offers specialty equestrian programs as well as traditional camp activities. This is our only camp with on-site horses, which allows for girls in equestrian programs to fully experience horseback riding instruction and horse care. Most girls in non-equestrian programs will visit the horses. Campers canoe on Lake of the Winds and swim in our hillside pool.

Tiered Pricing

Why are there three prices listed? What do I actually pay? GSOSW has adopted tiered pricing to keep camp affordable for all families while also expressing the true cost of camp. All campers will enjoy the same camp experience regardless of which price the family can afford. 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 our standard subsidized fee. Please pick the tier your family can afford. Tiered prices are listed with each camp session description in the following order: tier one/tier two/tier three.

TIER 1

reflects the actual cost of camp.

TIER 2

is partially subsidized, for families who can pay a little more, but not the full cost of camp.

TIER 3

is our standard subsidized fee.

Regardless of what tier your family is able to pay, all girls will enjoy the same high-quality camp experience.

Financial Assistance

Financial assistance to attend resident camp is available for all girls who live within our council jurisdiction (see map on Page 1 of this brochure). To apply, use the form included with this brochure or visit the Resident Camp page at girlscoutsosw.org. All information collected for resident camp financial assistance is kept confidential. Information regarding resident camp financial assistance will be sent to you separately from your camper packet and should arrive a few weeks after receipt of your application.

Medical/Dietary Accommodations

Girl Scouts OSW will make reasonable effort to accommodate medical needs. If your camper needs specific accommodations, please contact Marissa Bennett (see information below) to discuss a possible arrangement. You are encouraged to disclose medical conditions, special needs, allergies and dietary restrictions on your Health History/Camper Release Form. Understanding your camper’s needs helps camp staff ensure the best possible camp experience for your girl.

Camp with a Friend

When two campers want to attend a camp program together, they should each indicate that they want to be “buddies” on their registration form. This will ensure that the campers sleep in the same dwelling. Both campers must meet the grade requirements for the program. Buddies will be encouraged to also get to know other girls in the unit and will not always be in the same day/ activity group. Buddy groups of more than two may not be accommodated.

Trading Post

The trading post (camp store) will be at resident camp this year! Packages will be available for pre-order and merchandise will also be available for campers to purchase while at camp. Money for packages and camper accounts must be paid (via the Summer Resident Camp Additional Payment Form) two weeks prior to the camper arriving at camp. See camper packet for details.

Refunds

Request for refund of camp fees must be in writing at least 30 days before your camp session begins and will be adjusted based on expenses already incurred by the camp. No refund will be given within 30 days of the beginning of the camp session.
