FAQ

Where does the money raised go to?
The money you raise goes directly to the Camp Sternberg Scholarship Fund. Money from the Camp Sternberg Scholarship Fund is used towards camp fees as well as other expenses incurred by scholarship recipients. Recipients are needy and deserving campers who would benefit tremendously from being in a camp environment, yet lack the financial resources to make that happen.

Is this event only open to past alumni and campers of Camp Sternberg?
This event is open to any girl above 15 or woman who likes to challenge themselves for a great cause. No connection to Camp Sternberg is necessary to participate.
How much (if any) training is required to participate?
While no specific training is required, it is recommended that participants be in good health and reasonably confident that they can complete the described activities with minimal to no assistance required. Consultation with a doctor to determine whether this trip is recommended for you is also suggested.
