Money for the trading post (will need $5-$15 (each) for basketry, leatherwork and wood carving merit badge work, depending on the difficulty of the project.  We suggest the $5.00 project. The rest is up to you. How much candy and pop do want to eat? 

Most of the clothes will end up on the floor of the tent on the first day, so don't over do it.

Do not bring: Electronics, CD/tape players, sheath knives, hatchets, food, snacks or drinks of any kind (water is ok). They are not allowed in camp. Do not store food, snacks, candy or drinks of any kind in your tent as bears, raccoons, skunks and chipmunks are attracted to them.  We don’t want any uninvited visitors. If you buy something at the trading post, eat it at the trading post.

Please bring any up-dated medications with a note from your doctor.

Make sure your name is on everything!

Drivers are needed for both ways; 19-20 boys going to camp.  Anyone with a mini-van would be a great help.  Please contact Mr. Donachie at 425-9707 if you can help.
