Updates from Jeramy on June 1st

We are 5 days away from summer camp!  Now is the time to review those last few items and make sure you are prepared. Review the prior message below for specifics and reach out if you have any questions.

A few reminders:
  • Scouts should bring a camp chair for use in camp and at the Family night pow wow on Thursday.
  • Label all clothes, personal items, water bottles, hats, underwear, socks, with your name.
  • Bring rain jacket that can be carried in your daypack – it will rain.
A few expectations:
  • Driver assignments will be handed out on Sunday
  • Bunk assignments will be handed out on Sunday – you will be bunking with your patrol.
  • The BSA swim test will happen Sunday afternoon – all scouts are required to do the swim test at camp.  Those who have a valid swim test on record (completed at April campout) are recommended to still do the test as it’s a nice cool off in the afternoon. La No Che staff can require a retest at any time.

Updates from Jeramy on May 1st

We had a great overview meeting last week and got much of our paperwork out of the way. We do have a few more things to handle.

First, if your medical forms are not up to date with the troop medical officer, including physical (part C) within one year of the camp dates, please take care of that ASAP. Copy of forms must be submitted to camp 2 weeks prior so please do not wait until the last minute. This includes adult campers as well.

For those of you that missed Tuesday’s meeting, the Camp Packet with permissions slips are located here.

Updates from Jeramy on March 30th

Final payment of the full $400 fee is due to Finance no later than Tuesday, April 5th.  Any scouts not paid will be removed from the list and priority given to waitlisted scouts.  We will also be ordering the Summer Camp T-Shirts next week, payment must be in full to be included in the shirt order.

Most scouts have only paid the $50 deposit. The remaining $350 is due.  You can pay troop finance using the standard troop processes as detailed in Joci’s email on 3/21.  One method is to use PayPal and follow up with Joci and turn into me, Jeramy, the yellow receipt on Tuesday (or email me a picture of it works too). Remember, if using PayPal add 3% transaction fee to cover costs incurred to the troop. $350 + 3% = $360.50.

If you have previously paid your balance and not turned in the yellow receipt to me, please respond to this email that you are paid in full and the date of your settlement payment.  I will reconcile my records with Finance in the next week.

Adult Campers – We currently have three full week ASMs attending and wrangling the 31 scouts who will be having a blast at summer camp. We need more help. Adults attending are making a commitment to care for the scouts during the week, check in on them while in classes, and help them build awesome memories.  If you would like to attend the full week or partial week, the cost to cover lodging and meals is $100 for the full week or $50 for half week.  Yes, that’s right – you can come for half the week and split the spot with another adult.  You can choose to bunk in one of the Scoutmaster rooms in the activity shelter (with electricity and fans) or your personal tent.  If you are able to help out for a full or partial week please reply to this email and we can get you on the list.   Note: all adults need to be registered with the troop and complete required Youth Protection Training prior to camp.

Medical Forms – Complete medical forms part A/B/C are required for scout and adult campers by May 1st. This allows us to submit them to camp ahead of time. Send completed forms, vaccination records, and insurance cards to [email protected] no later than 5/1.

Updates from Jeramy on March 1st

Adult Leaders 
We need more adult leaders/parents to attend La No Che. We currently have 31 boys and 3 adults.  We have room for 2-3 more to help make an awesome week.   It is also possible to attend for a partial week if you want to split the week with another adult.  Please reach out to me if you have questions or desires to attend.
Required Full Payment by 4/1
The full fee for La No Che is $400. If you paid the required $50 deposit you have $350 remaining due by April 1st. Please pay finance at the Tuesday meeting or via Paypal ([email protected]) with a note of La No Che Summer Camp 2022. Any campers unpaid will be dropped from the roster. Unfortunately deposits are not refundable. Note: some classes like Primitive cooking have an extra fee, those scouts will be notified individually.
Required Med Forms and Physicals
Plan on attending the Troop Physical Night on March 22nd at 6pm to take care of your annual physical requirement.  You cannot camp without an updated physical.
Class Schedules
Registration for classes is complete! Check the email from Jeramy today (March 1st)! Attached to the email is a PDF with everyone’s 7 period day schedule.   Please review it, check out what your buddies have, and let me know if you have questions or request for changes.  Any changes would be based on individual class period availability and are not guaranteed.
We did our best efforts to get everyone classes from their top 5 choices and classes with other scouts from the troop.   Overall we are very happy with how the registration process went.
Also note the information about prerequisites, requirements not covered, and required gear. It is the scouts responsibility to make sure they are prepared for their classes.
If your name is not on the attached schedule list, we do not have you camping at LNC, reach out to me ASAP if that is a mistake.
More info and the official Troop summer camp guide will be distributed in coming weeks.
