Troop 212 Summer Camp info update and reminders:
1. Our check-in time is at 7:00 AM with the SPL prior to loading. (Directions below)All bags must be marked on the outside with owners name and troop number, so the bags will be delivered properly. At this check-in each scout may give our Troop Banker ( Terrie) an envelope, with their name on it, of cash for use in Trading Post. This cash should be fives and singles only….nothing larger. Also at this check-in, any medicine should be given to Terrie in its original container. Also consider your plans to handle the boat ride if you are prone to getting seasick.
2. Everything needs to capable of just one trip from dock to camp. One large duffle bag, whatever size or weight you want, as long as you can carry it, and one day pack. Daypacks highly encouraged because they will be useful all week.
3. The camp is providing dishware for all our meals except for the overnighter called ” war canoe” . This should consist of one bowl, spoon, fork, and drink mug.
4. Hats and sunscreen are STRONGLY encouraged. Merit badge books should be brought from home, along with writing paper and pens. The camp will not be providing these.
5. Mail instructions have been sent to you already. But if you have any questions, please ask me. Receiving mail at camp is an important part of the experience.
