Scouts BSA Resident Camp 2020 is cancelled due to State of Connecticut COVID-19 restrictions.  We apologize for and share in your disappointment.  Hope to see you all in 2021 – Destination Sequassen!  CLICK HERE to register your unit for 2021 today!

For nearly 100 years, Scouts of all ages have come to Camp Sequassen for exciting summer adventures. Scouts will have fun individually and with their fellow Scouts at the waterfront, on the trails, at the ranges, and all across camp. Not only will they enjoy activities in the numerous program areas, but they can choose from more than 50 merit badges including traditional Scouting badges like swimming, archery, and rowing to STEM badges like automotive maintenance, engineering, and robotics to badges you may not expect at camp like moviemaking, digital technology, and game design.

Scouts who pay in full by May 10, 2020 will receive a FREE Camp Sequassen hat!
$20 value

You can also pre-order additional hats for $18.50 each

New unit registrations require a $200 non-refundable unit deposit.  The $200 fee should be applied as a credit to the unit’s individual Scout/Scouter registrations when they are entered.

 

March 15, 2020 is the deadline for entry of Scout rosters.  At that time, a unit will be responsible for a minimum payment of $50 per registered Scout. To be eligible for the Early Bird bonus, full Scout fee must be paid online or received in the Council office by May 10.  Fees not paid by May 10 are due no later than the Troop’s pre-camp meeting date, approximately three and a half weeks prior to the start of the appropriate camp session (check the Leader’s Guide for the pre-camp meeting schedule).

Online payments may be made by credit card or electronic check.  If your unit prefers to submit payment(s) to the Council office, please plan to do so in advance of entering your roster online.  Fees submitted to the Council office will be entered as a unit summer camp registration credit that you will be able to draw against as you enter your Scouts and Scouters online.  Roster entries entered without payment will be held in your “cart” until payment by credit card or electronic check is authorized.

Please note that, while you may enter campsite preferences, site selection cannot be guaranteed.  A unit must commit to attending with a minimum of 10 Scouts to reserve an individual site.  Units that plan to bring fewer than 10 Scouts may still register and indicate site preference but will not be assigned a site until other units’ camper numbers can be determined.

Forms & Guides

NOTE: SCUBA participants must supply the included RSTC Medical Statement, signed by          their physician, in addition to the regular camp health form.
