Refund Policy

The Camp Goshen refund policy:

All refund requests must be in writing. Refunds for camper fees will be handled in the following manner:

• Replacement Scouts: Camp fees for one Scout may be moved to a new replacement Scout within the unit. To qualify for the transfer, the replacement Scout should have made no prior payment. As a unit, please keep track of Scouts who have paid, canceled, and are being replaced. (Campers Aid recipients cannot move their scholarship money to a replacement Scout.)
• Refund Requests:
  • On or before June 15, 2019: A refund of 85% of registration costs will be granted by request. Only requests from unit leaders will be honored (parents, please work through your unit to receive a refund). These requests must be received electronically by Goshen Camping Administrator, Calicoe Ashley, at the email address Calicoe.Ashley@Scouting.org with the subject line, “Goshen Refund Camp Ross Unit [unit number].” Refund request letters should name the no-show camper, unit, camp, week, and state the reason for missing camp.
  • After June 15, 2019: Registration costs will be forfeited.
• Non-registration fees (i.e. hat embroidery, bus tickets, ATV, shotgun, Wilderness First Aid, etc) are non-refundable. All refunds will be subject to a final review in the Council office before the check is issued. Online payment options will be credited where possible, or paper checks will be issued to the unit.
