Cub Scout Summer Programs Frequently Asked Questions

 

Send a Den And Save
If eight boys from the same Pack come to one of the day camps and an approved adult leader attends all of the camp with them, the adult leader receives a $225 stipend and the remaining seven boys each receive a $25 discount off of their camp fee! At the resident camps the leader is charged ½ price of the youth fee.

Can Scouts Serve As Den Leaders?
Boy Scouts who are at least 14 years old may serve as a Den Chief at the district day camps for the summer of 2013. They must be approved by the camp director and will be asked to sign a contract. Den Chiefs will be required to attend day camp staff training and are expected to be in attendance for all fi ve days of the weekly session. Den Chiefs receive a $100 credit towards their Camp Read tuition, which must be used during the 2013 summer season. Any Boy Scout interested in this position should fill out a Cub Summer Camps staff application, available below.

Family Opportunities
Parent volunteers are needed at all day camps. Parents are trained and serve as assistants and guides. As an incentive for parents, when the parent is approved by the camp director, pays the full fee for their son, attends one day of staff training and the entire week of camp, he/she will receive a $200 stipend per week volunteered to off set the cost of camp for his/her son. We also offer care for siblings ages three and above. Check the line on the application to receive additional information.
