Day Camp is an opportunity for Cub Scouts entering 1st – 5th grade during the 2015-2016 school year to make new friends, earn rank advancements and enjoy BB guns, archery, sports, skills, and crafts.

Lots of volunteers are needed to make camp a success, so please consider volunteering. Adult volunteers can also register their non-Scouting children ages 3-5 (potty trained) or girls ages 6-13, or Boy Scouts under the age of 14 as den chiefs (with Scoutmaster recommendation). Boys and girls ages 14-17 can volunteer as junior staff with approval of the camp director after recommendation by their unit leader.

Before proceeding, please carefully read all information listed below!
