We have an exciting summer camp program planned for all of our Scouts
taking place July 14-20, 2013. We will be attending camp at the Blue
Ridge Scout Reservation near Roanoke, VA and will have three different
summer camp experiences available this year which include:
Brownsea Island Adventure (Base Camp Ottari)-A basic skills program for
first year Boy Scouts up to 12 years old.
Camp Ottari-A traditional scout camp experience with a choice of over 30
merit badge programs.
New River Adventure Camp (Base Camp Powhatan)- A high adventure camp for
ages 13 and up (on or before Jan. 1, 2013) that includes whitewater
rafting, whitewater canoeing, caving, natural rock climbing, C.O.P.E.,
and an all terrain vehicle option (additional fee for ATV option).
The Summer Camp fees for each Scout will be approximately (fees may be
adjusted slightly dependent on the number of Scouts attending):
Brownsea Island and Camp Ottari $360 each Scout
New River Adventure Camp $390 each Scout (+$50 if participating in ATV
option)
Remember that the final balance is due by May 20th. We don't want to exclude any
Scout that may have special financial circumstances. Anyone requiring
assistance can discuss confidentially with Scoutmaster Chapman.

We transport all foot lockers in the Troop trailer and therefore request that everyone use the same foot locker so they can be stacked properly in the trailer. The specific foot locker is a Contico model 1320BK-1 available at Walmart stores or can be sourced online at www.walmart.com/ip/Contico-Storage-Locker/2476189.
All outstanding medical forms, copies of health insurance information, Troop 57 permission slip, and signed waivers for those attending New River Adventure Camp should be provided to Randy Scully on or before June 3rd. |
