Things to bring and things to know for Scouts and their Parents:
Having
the right clothing, food products, gear and hat are all fundamental
requirements for safety and a great Day Camp experience!
What To Bring:
Clothing
Campers who are not dressed appropriately, will be removed from the programs until proper clothing has been obtained.
Shirts: Supplied
for Camp, be sure your scout is wearing their 'official' color-coded
Day Camp T-Shirt. No camp participation
without a camp shirt on!
Foot wear: Sturdy shoes or hiking boots,must be worn while at camp. No Open-Toed Shoes are acceptable!
Head wear: All participants are recommended to wear a hat, with a bill, that covers the entire head.
Please label all items coming from home, shirts, hats, jackets, etc.
Food, Gear and Other Stuff
Sack
Lunches are needed every day. Please send the lunches
in a plastic ziploc type bag with their name on it. Ice is dumped into
the coolers and melts during the morning. Without a ziploc bag the
lunches can become a soggy mess!
Bring a water bottle with water (Absolutely no glass containers!). There are faucets available for refills!
Plan
for inclement weather. Be aware of what is happening each day. Cool
in the morning - warm in the afternoon - scattered showers. Be
Prepared!! Although, we always think balmy high 70s, with a nice
scattering of high, fluffy clouds!!
Bugs, Sun and Medications
It is recommended that campers use sunscreen and insect repellent prior to coming to camp.
Medications
Medications brought to camp must come to camp in the original prescription bottle prescribed by the medical physician.
Any over-the-counter medication being brought to camp must be in the original bottle labeled with the Scout’s name.
Special instructions must accompany all medications and signed by the
parent/legal guardian.
These medications will be held and distributed
(at prescribed times) by the camp’s medical personnel. The medical
officer, as per National Guidelines must collect all youth medications.
What "NOT" To Bring:
No portable radios, tape players, CD players, or electronic toys at camp.
No matches, fire starters, knives or other weapons at camp.
Cell Phones OFF! Your attention needs to be on the Campers.
Helpful Things to Remember:
Please make sure your child has had a good breakfast prior to attending camp each day.
Campers will need a good night's sleep to keep up with all the fun adventures of the day.
