GETTING TO AND FROM CAMP:
– Meet at Barn at 1:30pm Sunday, 7/9 for a 2pm departure (see sign up below for carpooling)
– Scouts need to eat lunch beforehand, dinner at Camp A will be provided
– Last check out the following Saturday (7/15) is at 8:15am so drivers should plan to pick up scouts by 8am or the night before (see below). Once drivers have reception, they can send ETA updates.
FAMILY NIGHT
One of the highlights at Camp Alexander is Friday Family Night. Friends and family are welcome to join in the fun and spirit on Friday afternoon as the scouts participate in camp wide events. At 5:15 PM the camp will have its final assembly, with Scouts dressed in full field uniform. Awards and rank recognitions will be presented at this time. Be sure to have cameras ready to capture the great moments. Friday evening meal tickets are sold at the Business Office at $10 and must be purchased prior to dining.
There is no charge for the Scouts and leaders in attendance at camp during the week as the cost is already included in the camp fee. The closing campfire, performed by the Scouts, will begin at approximately 7:45 PM and should conclude by 9:30 PM.
If there is enough interest in family night and bringing your scout home with you after we might plan to have the whole troop check out on Friday night. Please indicate that on the sign up below. Mike will need to leave Friday night anyway for a memorial service Saturday morning.
