Camp Geiger Damage Policy

Campsites are occasionally damaged due to storms and extended normal use. It is important to notify the Camp Ranger when damage occurs so that repairs can be made. Unfortunately, there are instances of damage caused both intentionally and by negligence. The Damage Policy listed below covers these types of damage.

Damage Policy

Damage Deposits

A damage deposit of $300.00 per unit will be required when you check in to your campsite. You will not be checked into the campsite without the appropriate deposit. We ask that you make out two (2) separate checks, one for fees and one for the damage deposit. The damage deposit will be collected by the campsite commissioner. The damage deposit check will be returned to you if there is no damage, vandalism, loss or theft of equipment and/or facilities at check-out time, unless the unit fails to check-out with the Campsite Commissioner or Ranger.

Damage to Equipment and Facilities

The policy of the Pony Express Council requires that units be assessed full cost of restoration (i.e., materials and labor) for any vandalism, malicious damage and/or gross negligence and that when such damage assessment is made, further camp reservations be withheld until such levy is paid in full. When units are assessed for equipment damages, ownership of the damaged equipment does not transfer to the unit.

Campsites

Sites are provided clean and are expected to be in as good or better condition than when you arrived upon departure. Security of the campsite and equipment is the unit’s responsibility at all times.
