This page has been set up as a Resource for the GHV's Short Term Camp Administrator's.
A "Short-term Camp" is any council-organized overnight camping program, whether one-time or continuing, that is one, two or three nights in length where the council or its agents provide the staffing and may provide program and food services, and includes camps conducted off council properties. National training courses are subject to the short-term camp requirements, regardless of format or duration.
