Goshen Leader Update: Camper Registration Opens Tommorow!

/in , /by

Hello Goshen Leaders!,

As many of us navigate winter weather this time of year, I’m sure you’re dreaming about summer camp! At this point, your Unit has registered to attend camp at Goshen Scout Reservation this coming summer and you’re gaining commitment from Scouts and leaders/parents to attend.

Camper registration opens tomorrow (December 10, 2025), meaning that your unit will be able to begin adding individual Scouts and leaders to your Unit’s registration. Please read this email carefully, as it will guide you through the camper registration process.

Camper Registration Webinar Recording

Last week, the GSR team hosted a webinar reviewing how to prepare for the opening of camper registration. If you weren’t able to join us, we encourage you to watch the webinar recording, linked below. Downloads of the presentation are also available at this link:

How to Add Campers to Your Registration

Camper registration opens December 10, 2025! You may begin adding campers to your unit’s summer camp registration when you are ready to issue payment for them. At this time, we are collecting a one-time, non-refundable $100.00 deposit for each youth camper added to your registration. This $100.00 deposit is placed towards the total camper cost. Adult campers do not have deposit in place at this time.

Please use the link below for guidance on how to add campers to your unit’s registration.

Camp Cards – Fund

Looking for a fundraiser to support attending summer camp? NCAC’s Camp Card Program is designed to help youth and units fundraise for their upcoming 2026 program year. Many Scouts use this program to cover the cost of attending camp! Attend the Camp Card Interest Webinar on January 4, 2026 at 7:00 pm (virtual) and learn more here!
