DCWC Referral Program
Choosing a New Summer Camp Can Be a Challenge!
In fact, it’s a big decision for most families. Parents are often inundated with pictures of happy children and marketing messages that leave them asking: Is it for real? Who can I trust?
Deer Crossing Wilderness Camp is privileged to have some of the happiest parents out there – and we love that you talk! Answering questions for your friends, providing helpful insight, and recommending Deer Crossing…. Our Referral program will reward you for doing just that.
How the Program Works
It is easy. We pay $100 for every new family that is referred to Deer Crossing and attends at least one session. There is no limit to the number of referral fees you can qualify for!
At the end of the summer, we will contact each family who has referred a friend. You can choose to take the cash or apply the amount to next year’s camp fees. Your choice.
How to Refer Someone
All you have to do is spread the word. You can also email us contact information and let us follow up with them. New families are asked on their registration form for the name of the family or person who referred them to Deer Crossing. That is it.
Hearing firsthand about other family’s experiences with a camp is often the single greatest factor that influences where parents choose to send their children. So simply sharing your family’s story is all it takes. Here are some options:
- It’s a simple conversation to have. Either directly at swim lessons or in the playground after school or via email to your network: Are you thinking about an overnight camp for next summer? If you are, I wanted to let you know about our family’s experience with Deer Crossing Wilderness Camp …
- Have a few friends get together? We can help you set up a “pizza party”. We will come and supply food and slideshow. We would love the opportunity to meet families and share the Deer Crossing experience in person.

What if they forget to list us on their form?
Have no fear. Just email John at mail@deercrossingcamp.com and let him know the name of the family you referred. Once John speaks to them, he will update the referral database.
