Share the Camp Magic: Camp Ondessonk’s Refer-a-Friend Program
If your child has ever come home from Camp Ondessonk glowing with stories about new friendships, horseback rides, sing-alongs, and adventures under the tall trees—you already know that camp magic is meant to be shared. And now, you can share that experience with others and earn a fun reward, thanks to our Refer-a-Friend Program!
When returning or enrolled campers help a new camper sign up for Summer Camp, both campers receive $20 in non-refundable Barter Bucks to spend at the Trading Post during their registered session. That means more T-shirts, snacks, and souvenirs, a perfect way to make the summer even more memorable.
How It Works
It’s simple, easy, and a great way for campers to invite friends to join them at their favorite place in the world:
- Invite Someone New
Share with a friend who has never attended Camp Ondessonk the details of our Summer Camp program. - Submit Your Referral Online
Complete our quick and easy Refer-a-Friend form. - They Register & Pay
Once your referred friend completes their registration and tuition payment, the Barter Bucks are applied. - Enjoy Your Trading Post Rewards Together!
Both campers receive $20 in Barter Bucks to spend during camp.
Why Camp Is Better with Friends
Camp is a place full of firsts: first trail ride, first night under the stars, first climbing wall, first time cheering so loud you lose your voice. Friends help children feel confident trying new things, stepping outside of their comfort zone, and making memories that last a lifetime.
Plus, going to Camp with a friend:
- Helps new campers feel welcome and comfortable
- Builds social and emotional confidence
- Strengthens friendships in meaningful, unplugged ways
- Makes the adventure even more fun!
Camp traditions and friendship go hand-in-hand, and now they come with a fun Trading Post bonus, too.
