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 est fier d'embaucher des Alpenguides expérimentés pour sa programmation :

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.

Tous les Alpenguides détiennent au minimum des certifications de secourisme en milieu sauvage, et nombre d'entre eux détiennent également des certifications de premier intervenant en milieu sauvage et de sauveteur.  Ces certifications garantissent que les conseillers sont équipés pour gérer les urgences médicales dans l'arrière-pays, où un accès immédiat aux soins médicaux peut ne pas être disponible.

Oui, tout le personnel doit passer une vérification des antécédents avant de travailler à Alpengirl Camp.

Tous les Alpenguides suivent une formation intensive de 9 jours avant le début du camp, où ils sont formés à tous les programmes Alpengirl, aux protocoles de risque et de sécurité et aux procédures d'urgence, à la communication interpersonnelle et à la gestion de groupe, et plus encore.

Chez Alpengirl, nous pensons que la diversité, l'équité et l'inclusion sont au cœur d'une expérience de camp florissante. Nous favorisons un changement positif dans le monde lorsque les jeunes et les adultes de tous horizons, croyances, identités et capacités sont valorisés et activement engagés dans le camp et la direction du camp. Nous nous efforçons de créer une communauté de camp vaste et inclusive qui est ouverte et promeut l'équité à travers une diversité d'idées, d'expériences, de perspectives et de voix. valoriser et honorer les contributions uniques de chacun. Notre objectif est de maintenir une communauté de camp inclusive qui élimine les stéréotypes, les préjugés et l'intimidation basés sur les différences qui incluent, sans toutefois s'y limiter, l'âge, le sexe, les capacités, la race, l'origine ethnique, la religion, l'identité sexuelle et le statut socio-économique.

Protocoles de sécurité

Les protocoles de sécurité d'Alpengirl Camp ont été développés en collaboration avec Cornerstone Safety Group. Ces mesures étendues sont conçues pour donner la priorité à la sécurité des campeurs dans tous les aspects du programme. Les familles sont encouragées à communiquer avec leurs préoccupations spécifiques pour en savoir plus sur ces protocoles et stratégies de gestion des risques.

Alpengirl Camp est un camp sans technologie — les campeurs sont autorisés à arriver au camp avec des téléphones portables à des fins de voyage, mais toute la technologie est récupérée au début du camp et restituée le jour du départ.
