Leadership: The camp provides a fully trained staff at dining hall and all program areas. The troop must provide at least 2 adults at all times. Adults will stay in camp tents in the same site with the Scouts. The cost for required adults is included in the youth fee, or paid by the troop. (ie there is no cost to required adults attending camp). Additional adults are at the discretion of the troop committee. Transportation? Parents are responsible for the transportation of their Scouts to/from camp. Parents may share transportation responsibilities, but the troop does not make transportation arrangements. Scouts must be in camp at 1 p.m. on Sunday, and picked up at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Questions: We will answer questions at the April 2011 Committee/Parent meeting. Camp fees of around $290 per scout must be received no later than Wednesday, April 6th, 2011 so we can pay to Council before the additional late fee per camper is incurred. Please return the sign-up form with camp fees to Mr. Napolitano
