2019 Registration: What’s New?

Registration for Summer 2019 opens on October 1st at 9:00am. Get ready! Here’s a brief overview of what’s changed.

Fees

Youth fees are increasing this year by $15, now starting at an Early Bird Rate of $375. In an effort to keep costs down, we’re keeping adult fees the same, starting at an Early Bird Rate of $225. Each unit, regardless of size, will still receive 2 free adult leaders, calculated automatically by our registration system. The Additional Fees for various services and special programs will also be staying the same, as listed in the Camp Costs section.

Refund Policy

This year, the unit site deposit will no longer be forfeit if the unit cancels. The unit site deposit will now be eligible for the standard refund – an 85% refund if requested by June 14.

Dates

Camps Bowman and Marriott are leaving the 7 day Saturday-to-Saturday schedule behind and joining the rest of the Goshen Scout Reservation camps in running a 6 day Sunday-to-Saturday schedule in an effort to improve camp logistics and program. Camp Marriott will still be running a Monday-to-Saturday schedule during its Week 1 LDS Week.

Camp Olmsted will be closed Week 4 for a special event and Week 5 will have a special schedule, running a 6 day Monday-to-Sunday schedule.

Goshen Leader Update #8

Hello Goshen Leaders!

It’s been a while! A couple quick updates for you:

  1. The deadline to request a refund for any scout or adult for any reason is June 15th, 2018. Please send those to myself at Philip.Barbash@Scouting.Org. Please do note that after that date, no refunds will be granted. This is a hard deadline. Apologies for the inconvenience! We do always have the option for you to switch out any youth or adult with another youth or adult by simply changing the name in your registration portal. Please refer to our refund policy here: https://www.gotogoshen.org/registration/. If you have already requested a refund via email, you are good to go. We will process and let you know when we do.
  2. If you are planning on taking the bus down, and have registered in the registration portal, you will receive an update email on logistics the Wednesday before your arrival. As always, you can get more information here: https://www.gotogoshen.org/information/transportation/.
  3. Please do not hesitate to contact your camp director for program/facility specific questions. Their info is listed on the camp’s webpage that you are attending near the bottom.
  4. Its not too early to be thinking about coming down to Family Camp here at Goshen during Labor Day Weekend. Information is here: https://www.gotogoshen.org/events/family-camp/. Registration is open!

My address now ends in Goshen, VA for the next two months. Feel free to contact me with any questions and as always, my previous update emails are here: https://www.gotogoshen.org/information/latest-news/.
