Adventist Risk Management Insurance
Camporee Travel Accident Insurance Now Available!
As Pathfinder Clubs around the world make their travel plans for the 2014 Forever Faithful International Camporee in Oshkosh next summer it is critical to provide travel accident insurance for all Pathfinders and adults in your group. Adventist Risk Management is pleased to announce special Camporee Travel Accident Insurance is now available for all Pathfinder groups at our website: www.Adventistrisk.org
For 2014 there are two types of Travel Accident Insurance available depending on your Club’s country of residence:
United States based Pathfinder Clubs:
Travel & Camporee – Travel accident coverage round-trip from your departure location to Oshkosh, Wisconsin with an addition of up to seven (7) added travel days for personal deviation in route. This allows Clubs to include side trips/activities in addition to attending the Forever Faithful Camporee. Cost: $4.55 per person. Coverage includes: $50,000 for accidental medical expense, subject to a $100 deductible. Accidental dental expenses are $250 per tooth subject to a maximum of $500. Accidental Death & Dismemberment benefits of $50,000. Additional benefits may apply – See policy summary listed on the ARM website.
Camporee Only – Accident coverage from Monday, August 11th through Saturday, August 16, 2014 during the Camporee event only at the Oshkosh, Wisconsin site. Cost: $2.33 per person. Coverage includes: $50,000 for accidental medical expense, subject to a $100 deductible. Accidental dental expenses are $250 per tooth subject to a maximum of $500. Accidental Death & Dismemberment benefits of $50,000. Additional benefits may apply – See policy summary listed on the ARM website.
This insurance is underwritten by the ACE Insurance group with rates and coverage unchanged from the 2009 Courage to Stand International Camporee. This insurance provides your Pathfinder Club with broader coverage than the standard accident insurance provided for Club activities by your Conference.
International based Pathfinder Clubs:
All Pathfinder Clubs located outside of the United States {including Canada and Bermuda} are unfortunately, not eligible to purchase the ACE travel accident insurance program. International Pathfinder Clubs should purchase ARM’s Short Term Travel Accident Insurance for all Pathfinders and adults traveling with your group. Several coverage options are available to provide accidental medical/illness expense coverage, emergency evacuation/repatriation and other travel related expenses. Please see the ARM website for a full explanation of coverage options and costs.
