Registration this year should be turned in to your pack’s Camp/Outdoor Activities Coordinator.  It will then be his/her responsibility to turn in all applications and money for the entire pack.  The only exceptions are those attending without other members of their pack.

LEAVE NO TRACE camping is a requirement.  No RV's, this is tent camping only.

Any adult who would like to volunteer for a station or for anything else would be greatly appreciated!  We can also use any Boy Scout troops who would like to assist, especially O.A. members!  Anyone with BSA water training is highly valued!  Call Craig or Gary to volunteer.  Here is a list of likely activities:

1)  First Aid

2)  Frisbee Golf

5)  Archery

6)  Crafts

7)  Skits

8)  Knots

12)  Conservation Project

13)  Carving

14)  Canoes and small rafts (sorry, no swimming, the water is too cold) please bring them if you have them; contact Gary and Craig to let them know what you have.  Western Colorado Council will supply a few canoes, but we need a volunteer with a truck who can haul them to camp from Grand Junction.

 

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).

 

Camp Director: Craig Hardman; 970-725-3318 home; 970-531-6331 cell; darkwing_starknight@yahoo.com

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.
