Camp Set-up, Take Down & Orientation:

All families attending camp are required to attend one of the Orientation Dates the weekend before camp.  You need only attend one of these days.  This allows families to see the facility, go over the rules and regulations regarding camp, and pick up their camp t-shirts and den assignments.      We also ask that parents assist in either Camp Set-Up or Camp Tear-Down.  Many hands make for light work in the construction and break down of camp.  You need only attend one of the options. It is also suggested to bring a lunch with you, as well as water and drinks.

Set-Up        o   Saturday, June 20th 10am to 11:30am        o   Saturday, June 20th 12:30pm to 2pm        o   Sunday, June 21st 10am to 11:30am      Take Down        o   Friday, June 26th following camp        o   Saturday, June 27th 10am to 11:30am        Camp Orientation        o   Saturday, June 20th at 2pm or Sunday, June 21st at 2pm @ A.A.Co. Fairgrounds

Camp Uniform:

     Each Camp participant is required to wear the official camp t-shirt everyday.  Our Camp involves a lot of walking.  We advise that every participant wear an older pair of sneakers (with socks) daily.  The Scouts will be exposed to sprinklers with may soil/ruin a new pair of shoes!  There are no sandals allowed in Camp... not on Cub Scouts, Camp Aides, or Adults.  Anyone wearing sandals will need to leave the Camp site or sit in the Administrative Area until appropriate footwear is provided. 

Lunch/Water:

     All participants are responsible for providing his or her own lunches and drinks for the lunch time period. It is advised that each Cub Scout, Kids Korner and Tiger attendees put their healthy lunch inside of a labeled, one gallon zip lock baggie. Den Leaders are expected to provide a cooler with ice for the storage of their Den’s lunches. It is encouraged to coordinate with other parents within the Den to take turns providing ice for the cooler. Camp will not supply ice for individual Den coolers. One-day parents are required to bring lunch on the day they attend camp.

     REMINDER:  Due to changes in National Camp Standards, lunches will no longer be offered to Camp Aides or Staff Members.  Each Camp Aide and Staff Member is responsible for bringing their own lunch for the day in an appropriate lunch bag to keep cool.
