Summer Camp is almost one week away – This email will be an important reference for any family with a boy attending camp. Sorry for the length, but hopefully it will cover the required details. Logistics: DEPARTURE: Good Shepard Lutheran Church at 5:30am on Sunday, June 24. We will leave promptly at 6:00 am, so please be there at 5:30am so that we can get the trailer packed and boys into seat belts. RETURN: We will return to the Church at approximately 1-2pm on Saturday July 30. Boys will call for pick up approximately 30 minutes before we arrive back at the church. Note: Scouts are expected to stay the duration of camp, unless they have prior notification to Brian Nagle or Mike Marcotte, and an Early Departure Form is submitted. Additionally, Scouts are expected to be transported to / from camp by the troop, unless pre-arranged. Reference Information:
Be Prepared (including Money) – This is the Scout Motto – and if followed it will make camp more enjoyable for all. Please use the Camp Equipment List on the Troop 75 Web Site. Please ensure there is appropriate Rain Gear, Water Bottle, and non-aerosol Insect Repellent. Also, shoes must be closed-toe – Open-Toed Shoes are not permitted to be worn around camp.
Additional Opportunity for Fun – Camp Friedlander runs some theme days during the week. I anticipate that the counselors will embrace these themes, and the camp encourages the boys and parents to participate. Here are the themes for each day:
Please be respectful and remove non-Scouting headgear and costume components during flag ceremonies. |
