Administrative Discounts
Unofficial Policy
This page is a work in progress. The text on this page has not been finalized as official Shehaqua Family policy by the Council.
Shehaqua volunteer spirit: The Shehaqua programs were built based on many people volunteering their time and energy. Everyone who attends camp is expected to contribute, which helps everyone have a sense of ownership as well as help keep participant fees low.
However, there are a few positions which require an extraordinary amount of time and effort, without which our programs would not be able to run. For these positions, we offer administrative discounts for the person and where appropriate, their family (to encourage families to attend together), and for our head cook we offer a small honorarium for the amount of work involved.
- Families are defined as parents with children 20 years and younger.
- Discounts are for the early-bird fees only. If the volunteer registers after the early-bird deadline, they must pay the difference between the early-bird fee and the fee in place at the time of payment.
- For positions of the head cook and assistant cook (8-10 hours/day), we provide more of a discount since people in these positions are not able to participate in a large portion of the program.
