Camperships - No Scout should be denied the camp experience because of inability to pay. Camperships are available to assist Scouts in attending camp. These funds are distributed in the strictest of confidence. Applications should be submitted through the Scoutmaster, and turned in to the Scout Service Center by June 1. Applications received after this date will be reviewed based on funds available. Campership funds will be made available to Scouts from the Long Beach Area Council first, but all campers from all areas may apply and generally are able to receive some campership funding.
Campsite Reservations & Deposits
During the summer camping season, summer camp reservations for the NEXT YEAR'S season are open only to troops attending the CURRENT season. A unit has priority to reserve its current campsite up until the time of check-out, or may upgrade to another available site. When the summer camping season concludes, campsite reservations for the following season are open to any unit.
SMALL: 8 minimum / 24 maximum (Campsites 8,9) MEDIUM: 16 minimum / 35 maximum (Campsites 3,4,5,7,10,16) LARGE: 24 minimum / 50 maximum (Campsites 2,6,13,15,17)
Note Regarding Units Larger than 50 Campers - It has been determined that 50 is the maximum capacity of the largest campsites at Camp Tahquitz. If a unit believes it will be bringing more than 50 campers, it is recommended that the unit reserve a second campsite (full deposit required). A unit bringing more than 50 campers that has not reserved a second campsite will be subject to a second site assignment by the camp which may not be optimal for the unit.
