Beach Encampment
Nightmare Before Christmas
This camp is for Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors. It's a fun, relaxed camp, with crafts, boating, campfire, and plenty of troop time. 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 s'mores. Saturday is for boating, fun in the sun, and crafts. Each troop will have their own camp site, and prepare their own meals for Saturday and Sunday.
Date
Friday, October 25 @ 4pm through Sunday, October 27 @ 10am
Note: Girls do not have to stay the whole time. Leaders must always know which girls they have on-site. Prices will not be adjusted or pro-rated for anyone who can't be there the whole time.

Encampment Adult Meeting: Adults who attended beach encampment last year do NOT need to attend the meeting, however Kayak and Paddle Board signups will take place at the meeting; therefore, we recommend that one adult from each troop attend but this is not required. If you did not attend beach encampment last year, you are REQUIRED to attend the meeting.. We will cover important issues like water safety, camp safety, how to get to camp, where to check in, site rules, etc. These are safety issues, therefore, we cannot be flexible on this requirement.
