CAMPERS

We have two types of campers: Cub Scouts and Non-Scouts.

 

Cub Scouts are registered BSA Cub Scouts who are incoming Tigers (first grade) and to incoming AOL (fifth grade). Incoming Lions can only participate in Tot Lot and must have a parent volunteering at the same time.

 

Non Scouts are not registered BSA Cub Scouts and must be an incoming first grade to incoming fifth grade level.

 

Each camper will be placed in a den made up of campers of similar ranks/ages. Each den will have a Den Chief that will lead the den and the den will stay together throughout camp. Campers are required to provide their own dinner.

 

The cost for campers is below and includes a camp t-shirt. Space is limited, so register early. Registration opens in January and closes on July 15th.

FUN STUFF! In addition, you can come and eat dinner with your camper - pick up or bring your dinner with you! Park in the lot and bring a camp chair as there is limited seating.
