Rising 6th-8th graders may participate in the Trail Crew Camp.
This active and engaging experience will feature a few exciting property-improvement projects in the forest and farm settings at Merck. We’ll also hike and explore, develop and build on practical backcountry skills, participate in citizen science discovery, and have fun learning and growing together with team building activities and games. Crew members will navigate with map and compass, construct shelters, lop invasive plants, and tackle trail work as they explore the front and backcountry of Merck Forest. Enrollment is limited to eight students and tuition is $275 per camper.
TRAIL CREW CAMP is scheduled:
- June 24 through 28 (9am to 3pm)
Registration is not considered complete until ALL necessary forms have been submitted. Failure to submit completed registration forms will result in a loss of space in the camp and any tuition paid.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Cancellation requests received at least 28 days before the first day of camp will receive a refund, less a $50 processing fee. Cancellation requests received within 28 days of the first day of camp will not be refunded, unless we are able to fill your reservation with a child from the waiting list. In such a case the $50 administrative fee will be levied.
We will not refund registration fees if a child misses one or more days of camp due to illness, unexpected family obligations, dismissal, or any other foreseen event. Other children may not be substituted into your child’s vacant spot. We reserve the right to cancel a camp program due to low enrollment; in this situation we will work to place campers into another camp or we will issue a full refund. We reserve the right to cancel a camp program due to unforeseen circumstances, in which case full refunds will be issued.
