So why Winter Camp? It is one of the most popular camps because it ...

is like summer camp without mosquitos!
offers lots of opportunities that you just don't get on a weekend campout
provides lots of merit badge choices
enables extra time to work on advancement
more time to make new friends within the troop
the adults cook all of the food
not to mention - the great food and food to/from is included in the price ... pizza on the way and gourmet burgers on the way back! Yum!!!

Costs: $120.00 some merit badges and other activities may have additional charges usually $5.00 to $10.00.

So, don't delay - register and send Mr. Harris your top 6 merit badge choices immediately so we can be certain to secure our top choices. Please see the attached document for merit badge choices and additional information.

We need more adult leaders as well, if you have time please come out. The time you spend in the outdoors with your scout is one of the best Christmas gifts you can give.
