Webelos Adventure Camp for Webelos

The check in at Camp K will be at (To Be Determined) on Wednesday the 9th. If your scout will be coming late because of Baseball or some other activity, that is ok. The kids should wear their swim suits to camp. They will be doing a swim test after we register. All kids are encouraged to swim daily.

All scouts and leaders will have to have a health form. It is best to have them completed before arrival, but it can be done during sign-in.

ALL MEDICATION NEEDS TO BE IN A ZIP LOCK BAG....IN THE ORIGINAL BOTTLES. THIS NEED TO BE ACCESSIBLE, SINCE IT WILL BE LEFT WITH THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR AT REGISTRATION.

What to Bring:

All items should be marked with the scouts name and pack number. NO ELECTRONIC ITEMS!

The pack will set up an Axe Yard, but knifes are not encouraged. If they are brought, they will be the responsibility of the adult leaders and only available for use in the Axe Yard. NO SCOUT IS TO CARRY A KNIFE AROUND CAMP. We will make them available for Axe Yard ONLY.

The camp has a trading post. If your child is bringing money (and I'm sure they will want to) please put it in something secure.

The pack will have some evening snacks, but if your son plans on bring snacks please make sure they are in a bag, with your sons name on it. We will keep them in a locked cooler, so that we don't have to share them with the Camp K Critters. NO FOOD IN TENTS! The pack will also have water and lemonade.

Parents are encouraged to bring their son to camp on Wednesday and visit during the week. On Friday evening there will be a special Campfire Program for the boys at 7:00. All family members are welcomed to attend this program.

If you choose to take your son home on Friday evening you can, but we encourage your son to stay the final evening.

We will be checking out at 9:00 on Saturday morning. Please plan on meeting us back at camp or have arrangements for your sons return from camp.

Emergency Numbers (CELL)
Nick Boland: 443-1883
Others: Den Leaders, please provide to your parents.

NOTE - If you and your family are planning on having dinner with us in the mess hall on Friday evening (I think we eat at 6:00 PM); please let us know at Check-in how many extra people there will be so we can let the camp cooks know for food prep. There is an extra charge (about $?.00 each) for this.

What to Bring

Please mark all items with the scouts name and pack number.

Carpooling Information

We will meet at Hazel Dell about 10 minutes before departure and figure out who needs a ride. The drive is approximately 40 minutes. If you are picking up, please be at the school about 10 minutes early so the drivers do not have to wait in case we are early.

Friday is different because it is Family Day. This is fun day and parents are encouraged to come for the whole afternoon. A picnic starts at 6:15 PM. We usually eat together on the picnic tables. You can bring your own food or buy a meal and drink there. The meal is used as a fundraising event for the Firecrafters (a Boy Scout organization). We will get an estimated head count for the meal during the week. There is a closing ceremony starting at 7:35 PM put on by the Firecrafters. All parents pick up their scouts from Camp Belzer on Friday.

If you are not using the carpool to or from Camp Belzer, or you need to miss a day, or someone gets sick, please communicate. If you miss the carpool or need to arrive at the camp late, you can just meet the group at Camp Belzer.

Leaders and Adult Volunteers

Thank-you again for everyone who stepped up to volunteer to be a leader or carpool.

Tag A-Longs

The camp allows Leaders and Adult Volunteers to bring their other children to the camp (but not unrelated children as in babysitting). If the child is planning on doing the crafts then there will be a charge of $5 for the day. If not, they can just come and enjoy. Regardless, the are not allowed to do archery, rafting, or BB guns. We will also need to turn in a health form for them as well because they are not covered under BSA insurance.

Medications

These should be in original containers and not held by the child unless required for immediate medical needs.

Family Camping on Friday

If you choose to camp overnight on Friday the fee is $7 per person. It is now open up to other family members. There will be a form handed out during the week that should be turned in by Thursday.

Daily Activities

The following is a list of things the kids will do at camp:

Swimming, rafting, BB gun shooting, Archery, Games, Cooking, Handicrafts, Campfires, Adventure Trails, Ropes Course, working on advancements, and enjoying Nature.
