Camp dates are June 16-23. The cost of camp is $335.00 \u2013 also included is a $50.00 deposit, that must be paid upon signing up for camp. Final balance after deposit is $285.00. If your son is planning on using his portion of the troop money to go to camp, talk to myself or David Sandvig.<\/p>\n
Anybody that is interested in using a Council Campership, these are due by April 30th. Forms can be obtained on the Council Website: www.grandcanyonbsa.org.<\/p>\n
Pre-requisites are a must. These are class requirements that must be completed prior to attending camp, or the scout will end up with a partial by the end of camp and he will have to spend his summer vacation finishing up the merit badge. Kathy & Jenna will have the pre-req sheet at the class sign-up meetings.<\/p>\n

The camp is doing new check-in procedures:
\nAll Health Checks will be done in the parking lot when the troop does its initial check-in. Every attendee at camp needs a medical form \u2013 doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re staying for the whole week or just one day.
\nBoys that have asthma issues will be allowed to carry inhalers with them around camp.
\nAll other prescribed medication must be turned over to the adult leader in camp (probably me) and locked up. When providing me with the medication, provide on a separate piece of paper the following info:
\nScout Name
\nType of medication
\nWhen & How much to give to scout<\/p>\n
Swim checks will be on Saturday & Sunday.<\/p>\n
