Camp Policies:
I understand that I am responsible for ensuring all payments are made on time. I further understand that all campers must have a signed medical form and waiver with them.
MINNESOTA LAW requires all campers to provide a current health history form upon arrival to camp. Youth forms must be signed by a parent or guardian. In order for a youth to shoot BB guns that portion of the Health form must also be signed. Health forms are available at either Scout Office or get one online at: www.goscouting.org/forms. Adults must have a completed health history form as well.

For cancellations made more than 45 days in advance, a group can transfer building/site fees paid toward another date within one (1) year. Cancellations made less than 45 days in advance will result in loss of building/site fees paid.
For cancellations due to COVID-19 worries, a group can transfer all fees paid toward another date within one (1) year if the request is received by our office at least three weeks in advance of the start of their reservation. Requests outside of this timeframe will be evaluated individually. This practice will continue through the end of August 2022 and at that time we will likely transition back to our standard refund practices.
If camps are forced to close due to COVID-19, groups will be given a choice to credit all fees toward a future reservation or receive a full refund.
