Camp Fowler Rental and Use Fees

Serving Your Unique Needs
In addition to providing a wide variety of facilities and services to Camp users, Valley Youth House also works with potential users to develop or customize programs and experiences that will meet the special needs or goals of groups or organizations.  A reference list of organizations and users can be provided on request

Rental Charges
Camp or specific facility rental is based on a minimum per person fee.  The Camp can also be rented with fewer participants as long as the minimum fee is paid.  Any usage over the minimum is multiplied by the per person rate and added to the camp’s rental or facility charge.

The Camp can be rented as an entire facility or specific facilities of the Camp can be rented based on a more targeted use.  Rental of the entire Camp entitles a group to the exclusive use of the entire camp for the rental period.  Rental of specific facilities entitles you to exclusive use of that/those particular facilities with other portions being considered off-limits because of use by other groups.  Before a reservation date is confirmed a Group Lease Agreement and security deposit must be received by Valley Youth House.  If the fees are less than the amount of the security deposit and no damage has occurred the user will be issued a check for the difference.

Use of the pool or the Adventure Challenge Course are additional costs because they require additional VYH staff for their operation.  The actual rental fee is based on the number of staff required (lifeguards, Adventure Counselors, etc.) and the length of the use.

All non-Valley Youth House Challenge Course participants under the age of eighteen (18) must have a parents or guardian permission form completed prior to participation.  The renter has responsibility for obtaining parental/guardian permission prior to any scheduled event.  VYH will furnish the forms for renters as part of the Rental and Use Agreement.  Please note that use of the course depends on the availability of certified facilitators.  At least twenty-one (21) days are recommended for confirmation of Challenge Course usage.  Challenge Course charges are separate from and not included as part of the full camp use fee.
