We want your input to make this fun!  We are open to any/all ideas; please send them to Craig and Gary (both of their contact info is listed below).

TIGERS require a parent to be with them. WOLVES, BEARS, and WEBELOS DO NOT require a parent to be with them, but we must maintain a 1/5 ratio of adults to youth!

Every person should bring a water container that can be used for 3 days, hat, sunscreen, a fishing pole if you have one, and a tent to sleep in (if you need one provided, please let us know).  If anyone wishes to bring snacks/food of any kind it is required that it be stored where animals can't smell it or get to it.  The meals that will be provided are dinner on Thursday, all three meals on Friday, and breakfast and lunch on Saturday.

We will have a trading post so bring extra spending money if you wish.  Whistles/horns/noisemakers purchased at the Trading Post will only be allowed to be blown at specified times.

The following forms must be turned in.
