Another great week spent this year at summer camp with loads of fun each day and many awards earned. It was an unusually hot week with temperatures in the 90's and high humidity. All the scouts and scouters kept their cool by drinking plenty of water and visiting the pool now and then. We had very good attendance this year with 22 scouts and 6 adults. Each day started with our own Reveille and Flag Ceremony and no one will forget "Go, You Chicken Fat, Go." All meals were served at the dining hall and there was rarely a complaint about the quality or quantity of food. The days were spent attending merit badge classes or trying out different activities at the program areas. Those in the Netami program learned scout skills and had a great time with games, sports, and more. Some evenings were spent catching up at the campsite while others were filled with activity such as campfires, night hike, orienteering, and a presentation by an international scout from Nicargua. All patrols did an outstanding job at the lake games and Tropical Island Quest held on Friday afternoon. Those attending summer camp for the week were Adam, Alan, Alex D, Chris, Daniel, David, DJ, Doug, Eric, Jacob, Jared, Joey J., Justin, Kevin, Kyle, Matt K., Matt S., Matthew, Nate, Peter, Philip, Ryan, Steven, Mr. Dzurnak, Mr. Makowski, Mr. Mayher, Mr. Sasala, Mr. Svihlik, and Mr. Thomas.

There is a great deal of information provided below about what to expect at summer camp. Most of this was taken directly from the camp program booklet and a few items added in for good measure. First year campers should take a look at the Netami program. All other scouts should look through the program areas and decide what merit badges to take along with any other activities you want to do at camp. Be sure to look over the Camp and Merit Badge schedules to avoid conflicts. Parents and adult leaders should look through the General Information, Camp & Medical Policies sections. Other sections will also be of interest. Family night is on Wednesday, June 19th.
