Reimbursement Procedure
Volunteers will be provided with an online form Monday after camp has concluded where they can upload all their related travel expenses.
Volunteers will have two weeks from that date to submit their expenses. Reimbursement for those expenses will be done electronically by Sun Escape in one total payment 7-14 days after receiving a volunteer’s completed submission.
Volunteers will be asked to provide their username and information to Venmo, Zelle, PayPal or Cash App accounts for reimbursement.
Sun Escape will not send physical check or money orders and volunteers are encouraged to create an account via one of the applications listed above prior to the start camp if they don’t have one.
Airfare expenses must be submitted as a PDF (preferably of the email confirmation at the time of booking).
Screenshots or broad confirmations will not be accepted, considered incomplete and you will be asked to resubmit.
Pre Camp Hotel Accomodations
Volunteers will be required to arrive to Victory Junction promptly at 2:00pm Thursday of camp. For certain individuals, it may be easier to fly or drive to the Greensboro North Carolina area the night before.
In the event you need to arrive early, a hotel room at the Greensboro-High Point Marriott Hotel will be booked and provided for you (no out of pocket cost). Volunteers are responsible for their own incidentals. The cost of this hotel will not count against your allotted stipend.
Deadline for hotel confirmations is March 20th.
Getting to and from Victory Junction
Volunteers will be responsible to get themselves to Victory Junction.
Volunteers who fly and arrive to the Greensboro area are encouraged to meet at the Greensboro Marriott Airport Hotel at 1:00pm on Thursday.
From there we will car pool and ride share together to Victory Junction. The Marriott Hotel is Less than 5 minutes from Greensboro Airport and a Marriott Shuttle runs 24/7 to and from the airport.
A bus will be provided to Sun Escape Families and Volunteers who are flying out of the Greensboro that Sunday after camp has concluded.
That bus will depart from Victory Junction at approximately noon. There will only be one bus and the ride is one way.
All volunteers will be reimbursed up to $500 for their total expenses. If volunteers are traveling from the west coast, that reimbursement total goes up to $600
