Rental Charges
Camp rental is based on a per person/per night fee. The minimum number of people required for each camp translates to a minimum fee. Summer and winter minimum fees differ (see Choosing Your Camp). You may rent a camp with fewer people, as long as you pay the minimum fee requirement.

Any usage over the minimum is multiplied by the per person/per night rate and added to the camp’s rental charges. The rental of a camp entitles your group to the exclusive use of that entire camp. Under special circumstances, day use may be available at one-half the per person/per night fee.

Per Person/Per Night Fees:
Camp One:     $19
Camp Two:    $16.50
Camp Three:  $14

Other Camp Charges
All utilities and services are metered or measured and their costs are charged in addition to your fee (this cost is the total of items 1 through 5 listed below). Your group will be charged only for what it consumes. Because usage varies widely from camp to camp, it is impossible to accurately estimate how much utilities and services will be. For your reference, though, an approximate average utility cost is about $2–$3 per person/per night.

The utilities and services are:
1. PG&E electricity and/or fuel for the generators,
2. Propane for kitchen stoves and all water heaters,
3. Firewood,
4. Garbage/trash removal, and
5. Kitchen Equipment—this includes all of the equipment (pots, pans, plates, bowls, glasses, utensils, etc.) normally needed to cook for and feed a group.

Payment Schedule
1. Deposits: MWCA requires two deposits that must be submitted with your signed Reservation Confirmation and Use Contract: 1) a 25% Rental Deposit (25% of your Minimum Fee) and 2) a Security Deposit. These two deposits must be received by MWCA along with your signed contract before a confirmed reservation exists. The 25% Rental Deposit is nonrefundable and covers MWCA administrative overhead. Additionally, a 35% Rental Deposit is due 120 days prior to camp date.
2. Minimum Fee: MWCA requires the total Minimum Fee (see Rental Charges above) to be paid 60 days before your group enters camp.
3. Cleanup Deposit: MWCA requires a cleaning deposit of $500 to be paid upon arrival at camp. Any credits will be applied to the Final Bill.
4. Final Bill: MWCA requires the Final Bill be paid in full upon your group’s departure from camp.

Cancellation
If you terminate your Contract without using the facilities, you agree to pay the minimum fee to cover MWCA’s costs. However, your minimum fee, minus the initial 25% deposit, will be refunded if MWCA is notified of the termination in writing and we are able re-rent all of the facilities for the same period of time at substantially the same fee. A request (which must be in writing) to decrease the number of days of camp use is considered a partial termination and will be treated pro rata according to the above terms and conditions.
