Important Information for Parents

Lunch

Each child is expected to provide their own lunch. The lunch should be brown bag style. Even through we have access to on-site refrigeration, it is strongly recommended not to use any mayonnaise products in your child’s lunch. Plenty of water will be provided during the days activities.

"Be Prepared." Packing for your week at camp

All of the equipment needed for the various activities that boys will take part in during the day is provided. Boys will only need to bring a few items with them each morning. Please make sure that all personal items are labeled with your son's name and hometown. This makes it much easier to identify lost items.

Items each boy should bring to camp include:

• Campers should bring their own lunch. Refrigeration space is available. Please do not bring coolers.

• A swimsuit and towel, are needed to participate in swimming and boating activities.

• Most camp activities continue, rain or shine. Watch the weather reports. Campers may want to bring a poncho or raincoat.

• The camp trading post is well stocked with souvenirs, snacks and drinks. Campers should bring their own spending money.

• Please do not bring knives.

• Fishing will be available on certain days. If a Scout owns their own pole it is permitted for them to bring it. Poles are also available at Camp.

• A day at camp is full of running and playing, hiking and exploring the outdoors. Open-toed shoes and sandals are not appropriate foot wear for these activities and should not be worn.

Friday Family BBQ & Campfire

Each Friday afternoon there will be a family BBQ and campfire. Families are encouraged to attend the special event. Tickets can be purchased during your sons week at camp. Because of the family BBQ & Campfire there is NO bus service on Friday afternoon.

Medications

All medication must be turned in to the camp health officer upon arrival at camp. It must be in its original packaging and must be accompanied by physician's orders. Authorization to administer medication must be given by signing the appropriate section of the camp medical form. Medications may only be administered by the camp health officer. Exceptions may be made for asthma inhalers and similar medications at the discretion of the camp health officer.

No-Shows/Dismissal

Parents are requested to contact the camp in the event that your son will not be able to attend camp for one or more days. The camp staff will not release a boy into the custody of any person except the parent or legal guardians whose names appear on the camp medical form without written, notarized authorization from the parent or legal guardian.
