FAQs
The J. Sephus Mack Center for Sasquatch Research at Camp Seph Mack 2024 is a resident camp program with unique adventure and advancement offerings. The planning committee for this adventure is world-class and all they need is you and your scouts! As this is a completely different program, information will be released on a regular basis, but there may be changes as the program evolves. We ask for your patience, and welcome suggestions to improve communications and program for the event.
Q: We will have Webelos crossing over next spring, will there be an opportunity for our new youth to join an adventure?
A: Yes! The Brown Sea Adventure is our first-year camper program. This is the opportunity for new Scouts to complete some of the basic requirements surrounding their first rank advancements. This program will be similar to other first-year camper programs at any resident camp you have attended previously, but will also weave some 'Squatch research and tracking into the program. The Director of this adventure, Ron Rhoades, is a long-time Scouter, who is an advocate of "First Year-First Class." With a long line of Eagle Scouts from his troop, and others he has assisted, Ron is the perfect leader for this adventure. While completing this adventure, Scouts will also earn some merit badges.
Q: I want to join the team at the J. Sephus Mack Institute, are there openings?
A: Yes! Right now we are looking for volunteer staff to help us make this exciting adventure possible. If you think you have what it takes, the staff application can be found on the registration page, under the attachments tab. In addition to adult staff, we are also looking for youth staff to assist in many components of the adventures. Completed staff applications can be emailed directly to Michele Brenneman at michele.brenneman@scouting.org.
Q: What will the price of camp be?
A: The locked in price for 2024 is $450 per scout, but if you act now your scout will receive a $20 discount bring the total down to $430! This covers food and lodging, as well as any incidentals squatch might throw at us. You can reserve this price right now for a $20 FULLY REFUNDABLE deposit.
Q: What if my troop is still deciding, can individual scouts sign up to reserve their spot?
A: If your unit is still deciding but you want to make sure your scout can reserve their spot, they can sign up on their own for the $20 fully refundable deposit. While units are still encouraged to sign up together, with the refundable $100 deposit which will reserve space for the whole unit to camp together, we don't want to limit families who want to make sure their scout gets the chance to experience this once in a lifetime program at Seph Mack.
Q: What if my unit needs some more information?
A: If your unit needs a little more info to help make their final decision, a dedicated group of our cryptozoological tour guides are ready and willing to come and do a personalized presentation to your unit to make sure you're ready for the hunt come 2024!
Q: I'm having some trouble with registration, have a question, or want to report a Squatch Sighting - is someone standing by?
A: Your District executives (Justin and Eric) are both standing by to answer any questions in the mean time. We're both so excited to be able to bring this opportunity back to Seph Mack and are dedicated to keeping you up to date on all the information you and your unit to get ready for the hunt in 2024!
