Come enjoy an excellent campfire run by the Wah-Tut-Ca staff! There will be fire, songs, skits, and a great opening video! Campfire will start at 9:00 PM on Sunday- plan to meet outside the trading post at 8:45 PM!
A Scout is Reverent. The Chapel is available for those Units or individuals wishing to hold services at any time. Any unit wishing to invite their spiritual leader or Troop Chaplain to conduct a service may do so. Your spiritual leader is the guest of the Camp for meals while serving the spiritual needs of your Unit. The nondenominational services and inspirational talks at Wah-tut-Ca will be on Monday immediately after dinner. The entire staff will be in attendance which means no program will be open until the service is complete. Attendance at these services is highly encouraged because a Scout is reverent.
Units are asked to participate in running flag ceremonies at both breakfast and dinner. The staff will run the flag ceremony on Sunday night. Units are encouraged to bring their own history and traditions. There are 10 opportunities during the week to run ceremonies so all interested Units are asked to sign up at the Sunday night Senior Patrol Leaders' meeting.
The evening program on Friday will consist of a camp-wide BBQ and faire. There will be plenty of BBQ food grilled for the festivities. Enjoy crazy carnival excitement like tomahawks, dart games, branding as well as numerous other activities. During this time as part of the inter troop competition will be a relay race, so make sure to find the fastest runner and swimmer in your patrol. Program areas will be closed as the staff will all be enjoying the carnival festivities.
Eat-in-site night, Wednesday night at Wah-Tut-Ca. It is an opportunity to do some Troop cooking while at camp. On that night, food may be picked up between 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. from the Dining Hall, and all unused food should be returned by 6:30 p.m. We ask that all Units submit their eat-in-site night food request form to the kitchen by Monday Lunch.
It is recommended that your Unit plan your meal before arriving in camp. This form will also be available to you when your Unit meets with the dining hall representative on Sunday. If there are other items you wish to purchase, we will be happy to provide directions to the local supermarket. If your Unit is planning an elaborate meal on Wednesday night, you may find it easier to bring some of your own ingredients.
Following eat-in site night on Wednesday, program hours will be pushed back to run from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM. During these hours special nightly programs will occur that will be unique to each area. Activities include spotlight night climbing, late night wilderness nature hunts, glow sports, movie night and other great programs!
The Order of the Arrow program at Wah-Tut-Ca will provide a mechanism for Arrowmen to gather with brothers from other units, to learn about upcoming events, and to provide an opportunity to conduct basic lodge business. Every Thursday will be “OA Day”; Arrowmen are encouraged to wear their sashes and Order of the Arrow apparel. After evening program on OA Day, all Arrowmen are invited to attend an ice cream social.
Now its your turn to participate in the campfire! Spend the week planning and practicing a song, skit, or cheer for the campfire. Let us know before Friday breakfast what you plan to do for the campfire.
