Please note Camp Manager’s heli fees are covered in this cost. Once your application form is reviewed and the Camp Manager for your chosen week notifies you are confirmed on the trip full payment is required before you are moved from the wait list. Final costs will be calculated after the end of the camp and refunds given, if appropriate.
