Fundraisers

Campers have an opportunity to 'earn' their way to a free week of summer camp this year! For students to choose to participate in the fundraisers, credit will be earned on a scale of participation. The options that the students had in 2010 to earn their way to camp included:

2009 Fundraiser (for 2010 camp)

December 2009 - Chocolate Candy Sales

2010 Fundraisers

January 17 - Soup & Sandwich Fundraiser

June 1 - Fundraising Meal working as serving/clean-up crew

Please note: Substitutes are only allowed if arrangements have been secured PRIOR to the fundraiser, and only one credit can be earned per fundraiser. We encourage each camper to participate in each fundraiser to make sure that they meet their own personal goals...but also to show their team spirit. If a student chooses not to participate in the fundraisers we offer they will be responsible for the full fee. (*Please note: If a registered camper chooses not to go to camp after his/her initial non-refundable deposit is paid, they will be responsible to reimburse the "Camper Fund" the full $50 registration fee. More details are listed below in the Camper Policy information section.)

2010 Camp Fees

Below listed were the base fees for each camp for the 2010 season. If a camper chooses to purchase a camp video, camp picture and/or signs up for activities that require an additional fee, those fees are the responsibility of the camper. Also, for Horsemanship Camps we will pay the highest base listed ($270) and the camper will have the responsibility of picking up the remaining cash balance.

Camper Policy
1) Jerusalem Chapel Camper’s Fund was established to send kids to Rhodes Grove camp. The Chapel will pay only basic fees. Extras, specialty camp’s increased fee, late fees or cancellations will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian. Note: If a registered camper decides not to go to camp, it is the responsibility of the parent to reimburse the Camper Fund the full registration fee.

2) Jerusalem Chapel will pay 100% for all "Chapel Kids" providing they help with three or more fundraisers. A Chapel Kid who helps with only two fundraisers will receive 66% of his basic fees paid by the Chapel (one fundrasier – 33%). A “Chapel Kid” is one who attends worship, Sunday School, Noah's Park, Middle or Senior High Youth regularly for three months prior to camp registration deadlines and is a full-time student when school is in session. Only one activity will be supported per individual each year.

3) Camp attendees outside the church that help with fundraisers will have their basic fees paid for according to the following schedule: One fundraiser=1/4 payment; Two fundraisers=1/2 payment; Three fundraisers=3/4; Four fundraisers = 100% payment by Chapel.

4) A single representative for a camp attendee is allowed to work in place of the participant at a given fundraiser provided they inform the Camp Secretary prior to the fundraiser whom they are working for. We welcome extra help for fundraisers, but only one individual can get credit for each prospective camp attendee.

5) Financially needy or special exceptions will be referred to a committee consisting of the Camp Secretary, Lay Leader and Pastor.

6) Each parent is responsible to make arrangements for the transportation of their child to and from camp. Parents are urged to carpool if that arrangement is acceptable to all parties involved.

7) All monies should be given to the Camp Secretary including specialty fees, late fees or specific payment a minimum of one week prior to the departure for camp.

8) For those who choose not to participate in fundraisers equaling full payment of the base fee, the balance of the camp fee (1/3 or 1/4, etc.) will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian and will be required at check-in on the first day of camp.
