Fwd: Northern teir 1st payment due.
Parents, Thank you for signing your son up for Northern Tier High Adventure. We are really looking forward to this Adventure.
Our trek dates have changed to June 20-27, 2025 in order to add an additional crew. The trek will consist of 2 nights at base camp and “5” days on the water. It will take 2 days to drive there and 2 days back. Over all Trip dates will be June 18 -29.
The payment schedule is as follows:
1. 20% of remaining fees: due 30 days following registration. 2. 50% of remaining fees: due October 1st , 2024. 3. Final Payment – balance due April 1st, 2025 These are the due dates to Northen Tier, so we will need to collect payment a week earlier
As a reminder, the fee per scout is $1500.00.
So our first payment due to the troop is $300.00.
Please bring this to our Meeting this Monday 2/20. We will have the Credit card machine available. We will also accept casu, check, or Venmo. If using Venmo, please use Include your Scouts name and “Northern Tier”
We will have a parents meeting for this trip on Monday 2/26 during our regular Scout meeting, please plan to attend.
Thank you again.
