The Most important part of any successful camping tip is planning! Please take a moment to read the following paragraphs-they will explain the plan for the weekend.

Check In : Check in will start between 4:30pm to7:30pm on Friday night. When you arrive you will be directed by staff to go to your camp site for the evening. They will want to know your unit and how many are camping in the unit. This is were you will be given any final schedules for the weekend. Please put as much equipment into as few vehicles as you can. The fewer vehicles the faster it is to unload and get to having fun. Please make sure to move your vehicles to the designated parking areas. Part of the fun is camping in the woods, not in a parking lot. At 8:30 there will be a leaders meeting. Please send one leader from each unit to this meeting. We will go over actives and complete roster of all youth and adults that are with you.

Lights Out: We are asking that for both Friday and Saturday night that starting at 10:30pm be lights out.

Sunday Breakfast: You should prepare whatever you like for breakfast Sunday morning. Start early so that you can be at services by 9:30am.

Chapel: Remember that a Scout is reverent and respects the rights of others to their religious beliefs. Chapel will be a non-denominational service.

Clean up Chapel will be over around 10:00 a.m. Time to head home! Everyone should police each campsite before leaving. Remember that a scout is clean and always leaves a campsite cleaner than when they found it. Camp closes at 11:30 a.m.,

Late check in will begin Saturday morning at 8:00am and go till 9:00am. Please let the staff know if your unit is just there for the day or will be camping that night.
