2008 Tesomas Fees

Payment and Registration Timeline

Unit Reservation Deposit

• Beginning at the Camp Preview in March, unit reservations will be accepted for 2009. Reservation preferences received at the Camp Preview will be filled in the following order: In-Council, FOS achieving units, time stamp. Reservations received after the Camp Preview will be on a first come, first served basis. See the group registration help file for online reservation procedures..
• All reservations must be accompanied with a $50 non-refundable unit reservation deposit, which will be applied toward your first camper deposit due by April 1st.
• If your unit attending Tesomas has less than 50% of the site capacity, the Council reserves the right to assign another unit to use the patrol areas in that site not used by your unit.

Scout/Leader Deposits

• The first $50 (due by April 1st) for each Scout/Leader is his/her reservation deposit and is non-refundable, but transferable to another Scout/Leader in the same unit as a new reservation.
• Remaining Tesomas fees are due May 15th; Akela’s World remaining fees are due May 30th.
• Campers registered after April 1st will pay a $10 late fee.

Leader Fees

• Leaders who are staying the entire week or splitting the week with another leader must pay their fees in full by May 15 for Tesomas and May 30 for Akela’s World.
• The adult daily rate for Tesomas is $19 for any adults at camp for 2 or more meals. These adults should plan on paying at camp unless they are splitting the week with another leader.

How to Pay

• Unit leaders may make payments and register campers online (See the group registration help file for specific procedures).
• Send all payments to the Samoset Office (3511 Camp Phillips Road, Weston, WI 54476), using the camper registration form. List each person attending camp and the amount paid by that person.

Camperships

The Tesomas Alumni Camping Trust has been established to assist any Scout or leader with financial need to experience camping. Request for camperships must be made using the campership application for each person by April 1st.

Refunds

Camp fees are non-refundable as we encourage units to transfer fees to another Scout from the unit who is attending camp. However, the Samoset Council will deal with each situation in which a written refund request is received and endeavor to be as fair as possible. All refunds are calculated after the $50 nonrefundable deposit. These are the guidelines we follow:

• Sickness, injury or family tragedy during camp resulting in the Scout being sent home during: First third - 50% refunded; Second third - 25% refunded; Final third - no refund.
• Sickness, injury or family tragedy before camp resulting in the Scout not attending: Notification before camp - 100% refunded; Notification at check-in - 50% refunded; Notification after check-in - no refund.
• All other reasons (baseball tournament, change in vacation plans, etc): Notification at least 1 week before your camp date - 50% refunded; Less than 7 days, no refund.

Refunds must be submitted using the camp refund request form available at the Program Center, Scout Center or online. Refunds will be issued after Sept 1, 2008.
