How to Register:

Registration is Closed

Thank you for your interest in Good Counsel Camp, a ministry of the Diocese of Saint Petersburg nestled among 175 wooded acres along the shores of serene Tsala Apopka Lake in Citrus County, Florida.

We are excited to announce that Good Counsel Camp has started a new Master Planning process to update the camp facilities and enhance programming. These improvements are much needed and will provide the foundation for long-term success for future generations. This means Good Counsel Summer Camp for 7–15-year-olds is suspended for 2025.  But 2026 opportunities are expected to be better than ever before. Please stay tuned! A brighter future awaits! May God bless you!

We will bring you periodic updates here and on the Diocesan website. Stay tuned because a brighter future awaits! For more information visit dosp.org/ForTheGood

Registration Process:

Session Status:

When a session is full, a waitlist will begin. To be put on the waitlist, complete the registration as usual. Your registration will process without taking a deposit and you will be added to the waitlist. We will contact you when a spot becomes available. There is always a chance that you are accepted from the waitlist and it costs nothing but a few minutes of your time to be added to it. 

We have implemented a new registration system.

To Begin:
Click the link on the left, under "Register / Parent Portal" and create a New User ID and password. Save this information as you will need to access the account in the future.

Follow the instructions at the top of each page, working your way through each step of the registration process. Please note, you will have 30 minutes to complete the application before it will log you out to prevent an overload of traffic.

Manage Your Parent Portal:
Need to update information, view important summer details or upload your health form before arriving to camp? Follow these easy steps.
Step 1:
Log back into your parent portal using your User ID and password.
Step 2: 
You will see your existing registrations under "view my registrations." Click the button for "view registration details."
Step 3:
Click the button on the left column to add campers, sessions and options. View online forms that still need to be completed in the right column. Click the name of the form to open the form and then follow the instructions. Upload a camper health form, photo, or camper physical in the "upload documents" section.

Payment:
Full payment or a $100 deposit (per camper) is required to complete your application.

If you elect to submit a deposit, the remainder of your fee will be broken down into equal monthly installments that will automatically process on the 1st of each month with the final installment due on June 1st. 

We accept visa, mastercard or ACH eChecks. 
Please note, there is a 3% fee for any credit card transaction. Alternatively, there is no fee if you process your payment with a debit card or ACH eCheck, however, you will need to allow 3-5 business days for the transaction to process from your bank account.

Discounts are available for early bird registration as well as households that are registering more than one camper.  

Refund Policy: All refund requests must be submitted in writing and received by the Camp Director prior to the opening of the camp session. A $25.00 administration fee will be assessed (per family) for refunds. No refunds are given after a camper has started a session and leaves camp before the session is complete, unless departure results from injury. No refunds will be issued when dismissal is the result of disciplinary action.
