How to Book a Weekend (or weekdays!) at a GSSEM Camp:
1. Fill out an Application For Use of GSSEM Camp Facilities and/or Program Services. Reservations can be made by email, fax, or walk-in, up to 9 months in advance. A $50.00 non-refundable deposit is due with reservations of each rental unit. Please make all checks out to “GSSEM”. You may also pay with cash or credit card.
2. Deposits are due for each building or rental unit with the rental form and are non-refundable at any time and non-transferable after the building cancellation period has ended, which is 30 days before your camping dates. Groups must update our office with final projected attendance numbers and payment is due no later than 30 days in advance of your rental date. There will be no alterations in final balances or refunds of any kind, for any balances paid or unpaid, after this 30 day final payment date. Unpaid balances will be turned over to collections.
3. Reservations made less than 30 days prior to a camp date must be paid in full at the time of reservation.
4. For all overnight and day rentals each group must have a person in place during check-in and remaining on site for the duration of the camping trip until check-out who is first aid and CPR certified and has received the appropriate training for the kind of camping you will be doing. Complete information is available in the Learning Opportunities portion of the Leader Guide. Certification cards must be presented to the office at check-in. Groups need to bring a first aid kit.
5. Groups will receive a confirmation packet that includes: a group rental contract, final balance bill, directions to camp, and for larger groups, a multiple building rental assignment form to schedule multiple check-in/out times for multiple living units.
6. The group rental contract must be returned to GSSEM within 10 days to secure your reservation.
7. Activity reservations are acceptable up to 6 weeks in advance. If activities are being reserved, a separate activity schedule with permission forms, if applicable, will be sent to you before your arrival.
