Policies and Procedures
|
| 1. |
Full-time, regular faculty and staff (as verified by Human Resources' records) are eligible for two personal stays during each academic year. Additional uses may be requested, based on availability. There is no limit to the number of Monday-Thursday stays during the academic year. |
| 2. |
Scheduling for the academic year is based on a lottery system. Scheduling for the summer is done on a point system based on years of SPU service and previous summer stays at Casey. Reservations during the academic year are handled independently from uses during the summer period. Academic year stays do not cause a "loss of points" for requesting stays during the summer. |
| 3. |
A waiting list is developed from the requests that are left over after all available stay periods are offered. An email will be sent out to those on the waiting list should a vacancy arise. |
| 4. |
The non-refundable reservation deposit is called the "booking fee." During the summer the booking fee is $100 and $35 during the academic year. This is the total cost to use a house - whether you stay one night or six nights. The booking fee is required to confirm the reservation. If you find that you must cancel your stay after it has been confirmed, you will forfeit the booking fee. The booking fee may not be transferred from one use period to the next. The funds go toward the on-going maintenance of the houses and are subsidized in addition to the booking fee from SPU as part of employee benefits. |
| 5. |
Only personal, vacation use of the Camp Casey houses is allowed under this courtesy fringe benefit. The full-time faculty or staff person OR his/her spouse must be present with the party using the house at Camp Casey. Other uses, such as SPU departmental use, church groups, Bible Study groups, school groups, youth groups or any other type of retreat that is sponsored by or referred by a faculty or staff member must be booked through the Camp Casey Office according to normal reservation procedures. Other buildings at Camp Casey are used for those types of groups. The rental rate will be the standard, non-profit group rate for each specific building at Camp Casey. Please call the Camp Casey office, toll-free, for a free information packet: (866) 661-6604. |
| 6. |
All faculty and staff visitors to Camp Casey must abide by the use and conduct policies of SPU and Camp Casey Conference Center. Failure to abide by the established policies or procedures, including proper care and cleaning of the house, may result in the forfeiture of future uses or additional charges. |
