May 1st Updates from Jeramy
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.
Woodruff campers – there is one more waiver to be signed for the Whitewater rafting trip. Download it here and bring it to Tuesday’s meeting
For those of you that missed Tuesday’s meeting, the Camp Packet with permissions slips are located here.
April 20th Updates from Jeramy
Activity registration for Camp Woodruff is complete.
- The troop will be doing a whitewater rafting trek on Thursday afternoon during period 5,6,7.
- A small group will be doing the canoe overnighter on Wednesday evening (page 26 in the program guide). Availability was limited so the group was based on those who said YES on the registration form.
See Jeramy’s email on April 20th about the individual schedules for each camper. Please review and print your schedule. Any change request must be submitted before May 1st and will be based on availability. Reply to [email protected] with requests or questions.
Reminders
- Full Payment of $550 for scouts and $350 for adults is due by May 3rd Troop Meeting. Those not paid risk having their registration removed. (we have to pay fees to camp for each camper)
- All medical forms (A/B/C) are due to the health office by May 3rd Troop Meeting.
- Next week 4/26 troop meeting is a mandatory summer camp gear and policy and procedure review for scouts and parents.
