Individual Camper Program
Written by Mike Swofford
It is our goal to ensure that every Scout that wishes to attend Camp Friedlander will have the opportunity. Scouts who wish to attend Camp Friedlander but cannot attend with their troop are welcome to attend as Individual Scouts...
Some Scouts may find that their troop is attending a different summer camp but he would also like to attend Camp Friedlander. Or maybe a Scout is unable to attend during the week that his troop has reserved. Some Scouts may want to return for a second week of camp during the summer. Camp Friedlander can accomodate every Scout and help him attend summer camp.
The individual camper experience is unique. Individual campers will meet new friends, learn to work with new people, and see Scouting differently than with their home troop. And they will still have all the opportunities available to them as every other camper.
Individual Scouts will be placed into a campsite with another troop with qualified leadership. The camp will assist with finding a suitable troop that is able to include another Scout. We will help get the Scout and his provisional leader in contact with one another and sign him up for merit badge classes. We will make sure that every Scout that wants to come to camp can do so!
Individual Camper Registration
To register an Individual Camper, submit the Individual Camper Registration Form with the $78 deposit. The camp will secure a troop to provide leadership and contact the Scout with more information prior to camp. Subsequent payments will be made with the partnered troop, if secured, or if not, paid directly to the Scout Service Center following the normal payment schedule.
