Beach Camporee is more relaxed than other events, with plenty of troop time in addition to a full day of water activities and crafts. Friday night dinner is brown bag (bring your own, no cooking). You'll have time to set up your camp site, then we'll have a group orientation and camp fire with songs and skits, and of course s'mores. Saturday is for boating, fun in the sun, and camp activities. We'll have a catered camp dinner, exchange SWAPS, and then enjoy some troop time for the rest of the evening. Each troop will have their own camp site, and prepare their own breakfast and lunch for Saturday, and breakfast for Sunday.
All San Marcos troops, Brownie and up, are invited to join in the fun!

Adults can attend either meeting, both will cover the same information. If an adult in the troop cannot attend an in-person meeting, they are not eligible to attend camporee.

What to bring
What to bring
Bring whatever your troop will need for eating and sleeping! This includes cooking and cleaning supplies (e.g., stove, mess kits, dunk station). Here's a sample packing list you can edit and use for your girls. We recommend no-cook meals for less experienced campers - less stuff to bring, more time for camp fun!
Walking stick - Bring a walking stick to string the beads you'll earn for each camp activity. Sticks can be purchased from any home improvement store (Home Depot), or our native brush near San Marcos can also be a great source.
Activities
Activities
Water activities include stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming. We'll tie dye camp tshirts and do crafts. Morning (optional) all-camp activities include yoga on the beach and a polar bear swim. Girls can sing songs and do skits at camp fire (s'mores are provided!), and they'll exchange SWAPS with the other troops. Every activity you do at camp earns a bead for your walking stick!
We'll provide more details about planned camp activities at the camp pre-meeting.
