Winter Camp 2010

Winter camp this year is the Strathcona Wilderness Centre, we will be leaving the Minchau School parking lot no later than 6:30pm on Friday February 5th.
At this time please be prepared to bring your cub to camp and pick up on Sunday when camp is complete. At this time we plan to have camp completed and ready to go by 1:30 to 2:00pm on Sunday February 7th.
If any concerns on transportation to camp please call or e-mail myself. The wilderness centre is well signed and not very far from the city. Please check website for a google map link.

Please review the camp supply list with your youth, and have the cub pack their own gear with your supervision. The reason for this the youth know what they have and where it is.
Please keep in mind that most of our activities and free time will be outside unless the weather is an extreme cold. So please make sure enough warm clothing is provided.

We need volunteer parents to attend this camp. The main role of a volunteer parent is staffing the kitchen and helping out with activities if needed. Volunteer parents can also participate in activities. Cost this year is $10.00 Per person

I would like confirmation by Jan 18th or Jan 22nd latest by e-mail. Please advise if you are able attend as well. We do have a limited amount of space so please let me know asap to get our numbers in.
