Troop,
***Update: we need to know if you are interested and are willing to put your money where your mouth is by Nov 3rd***
A while back we applied for a spot on the Northern Tier High Adventure Camp (https://www.ntier.org/summer-adventures/), which was denied due to over booking.
I got a call earlier this week informing me that the week we wanted (19-27 June 2021) is now available for us.
We have under three weeks to make a final decision if we want to go on this canoe trek or not next summer. Basic restrictions are the Scout must be 14 years old, or 13 and have completed 8th grade. We have 17 registered Scouts that fit this criteria.
We need two adults (21 or older, and have completed specific required training).
Below is the sign up for that. Need to know basic interest in going. It will be about $700/participant. Crews are limited to a max of 8, and the total for a “full” crew is $5680.
The OTHER fork:
Summer Camp at Camp Cris Dobbins:
The Troop voted to attend Camp Cris Dobbins next year. This is available to all of us, no matter age or grade. As long as you are registered with us, you can go with us!
The dates are not set in stone, as long as we get on this in the next couple of weeks and get the ball rolling on registration and all that. The cost of summer camp for each Scout is $450. We will set up a payment plan within the Troop so we ensure we hit all the required markers and are all good to go in the end.
The rub: in years past, we have gone to summer camp the third week in June, which is the same timeframe Northern Tier is available for us. So, if you think you may want to push to NT, and also have an interest in attending summer camp, we may be able to move the dates (for CCD) around some. That will be determined by the amount of interest. More to follow on that. First, lets see if there is interest in NT so we can either commit to that or not. (apologies to the younger Scouts, since you all can not attend NT yet).
