FINANCIAL AID TRANSPORTATION At Girl Scouts, we believe that camp is for every girl. We’re pleased to be able to offer financial assistance in order to give more girls the opportunity to experience Girl Scout camp. Need information on day camp busing and pick-up/dropoff times? Check out pages 14-17. To apply, complete the Financial Assistance Application and register online to make your deposit. Please note: You must register online before your Financial Assistance Application will be processed. Notification of financial assistance granted will be made within three weeks of submission. If financial assistance is requested, Summer Camp Cookie Credits will be applied first. The deadline to submit the Financial Assistance Application is the registration deadline for the chosen camp program. What are Summer Camp Cookie Credits? Girl Scout Cookies can power an amazing adventure! All registered girls participating in the GSSNE Cookie Program earn $.20 per package, which may then be applied to the cost of a GSSNE Summer Camp. Girls may receive Summer Camp Cookie Credit transfers from only one (1) girl outside their family. A girl who is not planning to attend a GSSNE Summer Camp may transfer her credits to a friend by completing the Summer Camp Cookie Credit Transfer form (found in the Cookie Manual or on the GSSNE website). Credits may be pooled by sisters in the same family. The deadline for Summer Camp Cookie Credit transfers is 5:00 p.m. on April 17, 2017. Girls with Special Needs Families of girls with special dietary needs, mobility limitations, or health conditions requiring particular awareness should contact [email protected] prior to registration to ensure that the girl can safely participate in daily camp life. Need information on overnight camp pick-up/dropoff times? Check out page 4. Please note that bus transportation is not available for resident sessions at Camp Hoffman. YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD FOR CAMP!
