Activities: The activities begin at 10:00 a.m. and close at 4:30 p.m. Your pack is free to go to whichever activities they choose - there is no set rotation. Please observe proper hygiene and social distancing at all times. *Note: Activities are slightly different depending on which camp and event you attend.

Lunch: Lunch is from 12 noon - 1:00 p.m..  Lunch is a Trail Mix or Beef Lunch picked up at the dining hall or delivered to the campsite.  Activities will be closed down from Noon-1:00 p.m. so our hard working volunteers can enjoy lunch.

Departure: Chapel is over around 9:25 a.m.  Time to head home!  Everyone should police each campsite before leaving.  Remember that a scout is clean and always leaves a campsite cleaner than when they found it.  Trash must be packed out.  Camp closes at 11:30, if you plan to stay longer, you must clear this with the staff and the Ranger.
