CAMP APPLICATION PROCESS

1. Please review the eligibility requirements. If you meet the eligibility requirements, proceed with the following steps.
2. Find an SAME Post (local chapter of the Society)
   1. Students should apply to the Post nearest their home.
   2. Select the appropriate Post Point of Contact
   3. Post Point of Contact List
   4. Alternately you may contact us at camp.info@same.org.
3. If you are unable to find a sponsoring Post, don’t give up hope.  Send your application directly to the Camp Registrar at erini@meetingvisions.net. SAME will review all un-sponsored students and select several for sponsorships from the national SAME Education and Mentoring Fund.  The student will need to pay $275.00 of the registration fee, but the Society will sponsor the remaining $275.00 and the airfare for the student to the camp. Students on the National Sponsorship list will be notified whether or not they have a sponsorship about 6 weeks prior to the camp date.
4. Contact someone at your local Post to introduce yourself and tell them you are interested in attending the SAME Engineering & Construction Camp.
1. Be sure to ask for the Engineering & Construction Camp Point of Contact for the Post.
2. Clarify with that Point of Contact when the application is due and for which camp you are applying.
5. If you have questions regarding the camp please contact:
   

   SEABEE Camp: Pat Donnellyat pdonnelly@pointesandiego.com.
   USAFA Camp: Scott Prosuch at sprosuch@earthlink.net.

6. If you have questions about what to do after you apply please contact the Camp Registrar:

   Erin Ingersoll: erini@meetingvisions.net.

7. Download the application form and supplemental forms. Some of the documents have gray boxes in which you can type your response to the question. The boxes will expand as you type. When you have completed a form, you may then print it out. Make sure the forms are filled out and signed by the appropriate parties as indicated. Attach the supplemental materials to the application form or send them after you have been selected by the Post.
8. Give the signed application to your local Post Point of Contact.
9. Once you receive notification that the Post will nominate you to attend the camp, please send a check for $275 (half the registration fee) to the local Post Point of Contact together with the supplemental materials if you have not already sent them. Your sponsoring Post will pay the remainder of the $550 registration fee AND your airfare to the camp.
10. The Post will then send your completed application packet in for National review to the SAME Camps. (This is a two tiered acceptance process: first you must be accepted by the post and then accepted post candidates are reviews for acceptance in the national pool for admittance to the camp. This second-tier review is only meant as a QC check to ensure that the applicant meets the criteria.)
    1. Upon acceptance, you will receive a letter from the Camp Registrar with information about the camp schedule, what to pack and other important details. This information will also be available on the SAME Camp Web site.
    2. Upon acceptance to the USAFA camp, you will receive directions from the Camp Registrar to upload a digital picture to the camp website. This picture will be used to create the Camp Photo Directory which is given to each camper at the end of camp.
