DAY CAMP

 

CAMPERS

We have two types of campers: Cub Scouts and Non-Scouts.

 

Cub Scouts are registered BSA Cub Scouts who are incoming Tigers (first grade) and to incoming AOL (fifth grade). Incoming Lions can only participate in Tot Lot and must have a parent volunteering at the same time.

 

Non-Scouts are not registered BSA Cub Scouts and must be an incoming first grade to incoming fifth grade level.

 

Each camper will be placed in a den made up of campers of similar ranks/ages. Each den will have a Den Chief that will lead the den and the den will stay together throughout camp. Campers are required to provide their own dinner.

 

The cost for campers is below and includes a camp t-shirt. Space is limited, so register early. Registration opens in January and closes on July 10th.

 

o  Cost is $175 if registered by June 20th

FRIDAY CAMPFIRE

On Friday we will have our closing campfire between 6:15pm and 8:00pm. Parents are invited to attend if you'd like to come watch! The campers will be performing skits, songs, jokes, etc.... FUN STUFF! In addition, you can come and eat dinner with your camper - pick up or bring your dinner with you! Park in the lot and bring a camp chair as there is limited seating. If the parking lot is full, you may park in the adjacent neighborhood, but please be respectful to the residents.

The Tot Lot is required to stay in its area at all times and under the supervision of the Staff. Parents will pick up the sibling(s) during the meal break. Siblings are required to provide their own dinner. The cost is $5 per day and includes a camp t-shirt.
