Subject: [t271_parents:969] !! Summer Camp Information--please read before tomorrow's meeting.
Hello Parents and Scouts (and Webelos):
Tomorrow night Troop 271 will vote on the summer camp for 2012. The boys planning to attend a summer camp will be asked to rate their choices (1st, 2nd, 3rd) for each of the following three camps: Camp Emerald Bay, Camp Whitsett, and Mataguay Scout Ranch.
The cost of these camps varies widely, and this is something I hope you will take the opportunity to discuss with your son. Financial aid is available from the Council, in some cases the camps, and from the troop. We may also have an opportunity for additional scout account fund-raising. Please take this into account when helping your son decide. Approximately 1/3 of the fees will be due at the end of January, with the remainder due in 2-3 installments by the end of April.
Below are the websites for each of the three camps. There will also be a presentation about each of the camps at tomorrow's meeting. All three are excellent camps with similar merit badge offerings, but each one offers a separate, unique experience for the boys.
Here are the websites and a rough estimates of cost per camper:
Camp Whitsett: $495 [ PDF ]
Camp Emerald Bay: $650 - $765 (camp fee varies depending on camp session selected) [ PDF ]
Mataguay Scout Ranch: $ 375 [ PDF ]
