TUITION AND TERMS OF PAYMENT: Your $700 form of payment is due with your registration. Upon enrollment you will be charged the $700 non-refundable deposit. The balance of tuition & fees is due in two installments: February 1st and April 1st. We will automatically bill that same payment method on February 1st and April 1st. We will send out a reminder in advance in case you would like to change your payment method. We accept credit/debit cards, eChecks, or checks for payment. We will add a 2.9% non-refundable processing fee for credit cards used for payment. Registrations after April 1 must be paid in full within 7 days of online registration and are fully non-refundable. Late payments or late or incomplete forms will result in forfeiture of your space without refund. The tuition includes all expenses once you have arrived at the specified arrival/departure site for your session. NOTE: parent/s are required to pay for unaccompanied minor tickets (if applicable) for flights to/from the program, as well as any air carrier baggage fees. CANCELLATION AND REFUND: If you cancel before April 1st, we will refund any payments you have made, less the non-refundable $700 deposit and credit/debit card processing fees. If you cancel after April 1st, 100% of your payments made are non-refundable. In order to cancel, you must provide Alpengirl with notice, in writing, via e-mail. The above charge for cancellation is intended as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. Alpengirl uses camper payments to prepare for programs, pay its guides, and pay for non-refundable leased vans, outfitter deposits, equipment and campground reservations, and handle a myriad of other costs associated with its budget and operations. Many expenses are negotiated based on a total summer (or group) number, rather than on a per person basis and it is difficult to ascertain the amount of actual loss or damages that would result if a camper or parent cancels at a given point in time. As a result, the above charges reflect a reasonable estimate of the actual costs Alpengirl will incur in the event of camper cancellation before camp start. Independent trip insurance is recommended for all camper families to protect their investment. 

Alpengirl Camp ist stolz darauf, erfahrene Alpenguides für sein Programm zu engagieren:

Qualified and Trained Staff: All Alpenguides are highly trained in outdoor education, wilderness first aid, CPR, and emergency response procedures. Staff members undergo extensive training in group dynamics, youth development, and risk management.

Low Counselor-to-Camper Ratio: Alpengirl Camp maintains a low counselor-to-camper ratio, typically 1:5 or 1:6, ensuring that every camper receives individual attention, supervision, and support.

Alle Alpenguides verfügen über ein Minimum an Wilderness First Aid-Zertifizierungen, viele verfügen auch über Wilderness First Responder-Zertifizierungen und Rettungsschwimmer-Zertifizierungen.  Diese Zertifizierungen stellen sicher, dass Berater für die Bewältigung medizinischer Notfälle im Hinterland gerüstet sind, wo möglicherweise kein sofortiger Zugang zu medizinischer Versorgung möglich ist.

Ja, alle Mitarbeiter müssen eine Zuverlässigkeitsüberprüfung bestehen, bevor sie im Alpengirl Camp arbeiten können.

Alle Alpenguides nehmen vor Beginn des Camps an einer 9-tägigen intensiven Mitarbeiterschulung teil, in der sie in allen Alpengirl-Programmen, Risiko- und Sicherheitsprotokollen und Notfallverfahren, zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation und Gruppenmanagement und mehr geschult werden.

Bei Alpengirl glauben wir, dass Diversität, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion das Herzstück eines erfolgreichen Camp-Erlebnisses sind. Wir fördern positive Veränderungen in der Welt, wenn Jugendliche und Erwachsene aller Hintergründe, Glaubensrichtungen, Identitäten und Fähigkeiten wertgeschätzt werden und sich aktiv an der Camp- und Camp-Leitung beteiligen Camp-Gemeinschaft, um die einzigartigen Beiträge aller Menschen zu verstehen, zu akzeptieren, wertzuschätzen und zu würdigen. Unser Ziel ist es, eine integrative Camp-Gemeinschaft aufrechtzuerhalten, die Stereotypen, Vorurteile und Mobbing aufgrund von Unterschieden beseitigt, zu denen unter anderem Alter, Geschlecht, Fähigkeiten, Rasse, ethnische Zugehörigkeit, Religion, sexuelle Identität und sozioökonomischer Status gehören.

Alpengirl Camp verlangt von allen Campern, dass sie die folgenden Kriterien erfüllen, um ein sicheres, integratives und angenehmes Erlebnis für alle zu gewährleisten:

Positive Attitude: Maintain a positive mindset and willingness to participate in all program activities.

Flexibility: Handle short-notice itinerary and scheduling changes as needed.

Group Living: Participate in group living experiences, sharing space with up to three tent mates, and prioritize group needs over individual desires, accommodating diverse abilities and personalities.

Instruction Compliance: Understand and follow verbal and visual instructions, whether supervised or not.

Risk Awareness: Recognize the hazards and risks outlined in Alpengirl program materials and comply with all recommended safety measures and directions.

Respectful Environment: Contribute to a safe, respectful, and inclusive social and emotional learning environment, respecting all identities, and avoiding exclusive relationships, cliques, harassment, or bullying.

Group Cohesion: Maintain respectful communication and behavior with participants, staff, outfitters, and local residents, ensuring the cohesion of the group.

Physical Health: Be in good general health, able to participate in strenuous physical activity, and provide a current health history with physician approval.

Communication Skills: Effectively communicate with program staff about any distress or assistance needed.

Self-Care: Take full responsibility for physical and mental health, including adhering to medication routines, self-care strategies, and healthy habits such as exercise, journaling, yoga, proper sleep, and hydration.

Environmental Awareness: Remain adequately hydrated, fed, and dressed to avoid injuries like hypothermia, heat illness, sunburn, or frostbite.

Adaptability: Adapt to the program’s physical and emotional demands, including living in primitive conditions for extended periods in remote areas with limited medical access.

Gear Management: Carry personal equipment and a fair share of group gear using appropriate methods (e.g., loading onto horses, llamas, boats, or vehicles) and request help when needed.

Backpacking Requirements: For backpacking adventures, carry a backpack weighing up to 40% of body weight over uneven terrain.

Leave No Trace: Learn and practice Leave No Trace camping and travel techniques to minimize environmental impact.

Sicherheitsprotokolle

Die Sicherheitsprotokolle des Alpengirl Camps wurden in Zusammenarbeit mit der Cornerstone Safety Group entwickelt. Diese umfangreichen Maßnahmen sollen der Sicherheit der Camper in allen Aspekten des Programms Priorität einräumen. Familien werden ermutigt, sich mit konkreten Anliegen an uns zu wenden, um mehr über diese Protokolle und Risikomanagementstrategien zu erfahren.

Alpengirl Camp ist ein technikfreies Camp — Campern ist es gestattet, zu Reisezwecken mit Mobiltelefonen im Camp anzukommen, die gesamte Technik wird jedoch zu Beginn des Camps abgeholt und am Abreisetag zurückgegeben.
