Adequate adult leadership is a critical factor in a unit's ability to succeed while at camp. Units are encouraged to come to camp with a number of adults that is proportional to the number of scouts they bring, and are expected to supervise. To that end, TMR does not charge for some of the adults a unit brings to camp. To see how many adults will qualify as "free," see the chart below.

Adults not qualifying as "free" will be charged $130 per week.

A unit can make an initial reservation for "Unit Camping" by completing a Hold-A-Place for the camp/program they want to attend, and then submitting it to the Camping Services Department with a $100 deposit.

To maintain this reservation, an individual deposit of $25 per projected camper is due by March 31. All deposits are non-refundable, but are transferable to another week during the current summer camp season.

As an incentive for units and families to pay for camp in advance, we offer an Early Bird fee for some programs. Camper reservations paid in full* by May 31 will receive a $30 discount per week.

*If a camper has already been granted a campership, the Early Bird Discount will be taken into account when calculating the camper's full payment amount.

Camperships are reductions in the total cost of camp, offered to Greater New York Councils Scouts. Several diffferent types of camperships exist. Each borough sponsors and administers its own campership program, and there are several other camperships sponsored by various groups that promote Scouting in NYC.

As a courtesy to these organizations, their information & application forms are being publicized here on the Ten Mile River Website. To download a form, click on the icon near its name. NB: You must contact the sponsoring organization for each campership in order to answer any questions. Camping Services does not administer any of these programs.

Avoid the Lines! Avoid the Hassle! Speedy Check-In and Speedy Refunds! With the number of units and Scouts attending camp increasing each summer, the check-in process at camp has become more and more time consuming. Your first day at camp should be spent helping your Scouts settle into a smooth routine, not sitting in a crowded office trying to figure the outstanding balance of your camp fees and contacting parents about omissions on medical forms.

If your check-in has always been speedy and smooth, then feel free to continue to check-in as you have in the past. But if, like many unit leaders, you feel worn out at the end of your check-in ordeal, please consider taking advantage of our new pre-registration opportunities.

Come to the Council Service Center on the Tuesday prior to your unit's arrival at camp, and meet with a Camping Services Representative to complete your unit's check-in. Representatives will be available from 9:00 AM until 6:45 PM. At that time, you can:

• Turn in your unit's roster & medical forms
• Pay any remaining camp fees
• Confirm your scouts' camperships, and resolve any discrepancies directly with your borough's professional staff.

Attention Camp Ranachqua Units: Since most of our guests who attend Camp Ranachqua live in the Hudson Valley Region, which is much closer to Ten Mile River than the Council Service Center in midtown Manhattan, Camp Ranachqua Units may come directly to the Camp Ranachqua Office on the Thursday prior to the unit's arrival between 7:00 and 9:00 PM to pre-check-in as described above. Unit leaders are also welcome to come a bit earlier, and join the camp for dinner at 6:00 PM.

If you do all of the above, and you arrive at camp with the same scouts and leaders as the roster, you will be able to avoid the check-in lines at the camp office. While you will still need to go through the medical recheck (and we are working to improve that procedure) it will be a much quicker process. If you've already submitted your medical forms, your buddy tags for the swim test will already be waiting for you.

Whether you choose to do your check-in at the Council Service Center prior to camp, or at camp on the day of your arrival, you are encouraged to come with copies of all payment receipts, as well as campership approval forms. Doing so will greatly simplify the process, and help to quickly resolve any discrepancies.

Please help us to help you. On the Wednesday prior to your unit's arrival at camp, please complete this form indicating the updated number of Scouts and Leaders you will be bringing to camp. This will allow us to ensure that we have the correct number of tents, cots, etc. waiting in your campsite.

The fees above are inclusive of all regular camp activities. There are, however, a few programs which carry an additional fee. Payment will be required in camp, at the time the activity takes place.
