Do you keep a “wait list” of girls who were not accepted? Yes.
If your daughter is put on the wait list, you'll receive a number telling you
where she is for her particular program. Of course we have no way of
predicting how many girls will withdraw.
How long will you keep girls on the wait list? Until the first
day of camp? No. Four weeks before camp, if your daughter is
still on the wait list, we will notify GSCNC and ask GSCNC to issue a refund.
You can also contact GSCNC at any time and ask to be removed from the wait
list and receive a refund.
If my daughter is on the wait list or isn't placed in camp, will I lose
the money I paid? No. The only way you can lose money is if
you accept a place at Crossroads and then withdraw after the "no refunds after
this date" date that is published on our Important Dates page.
If my daughter doesn’t make it into Camp Crossroads this year, does she get
preference next year? No.
Why do you give priority placement to the daughters of the volunteers?
Most GSCNC’s day camps are volunteer run. Without the volunteers camp doesn’t
happen. It's pretty hard to get people to agree to volunteer to work at the camps
unless their own daughter gets to attend!
Why isn’t there enough space at our Girl Scout day camps? Good
question! All the day camps are overwhelmed -- we simply do not have enough
capacity. Bottom line -- lack of volunteers. At our facility, there is enough
time during the summer to hold another camp -- all we'd need is another 125 volunteers to make it happen! Our council is always looking for new
ideas to solve these problems -- if you have some great ideas on how to manage
the camps better, we're always open to suggestions – especially if you’re
willing to volunteer your time to make it happen!
