2008 CUB SCOUT SUMMER DAY CAMP
Here are some things you will need to know about camp.

Aberdeen Day Camp is held at Melgaard Park at 502 East Melgaard Road-Please use the East Parking Entrance.

Parents or the responsible adult/Leader MUST check-in & check-out each Scout, each day!


Monday July 7 & 8
Registration starts at 8:00 AM-- PROGRAM starts at 8:45 AM and ends at 4:00PM.

EVERYONE MUST CHECK-IN !!
 
IF YOUR PACK HAS NOT REGISTERED WITH THE COUNCIL YET:

PLEASE FAX them your Reg. paperwork and (Health History) physical forms. Please bring your copies of the physical forms with you to camp.  And MAIL them your check. Because of the short week, we suggest this is done ASAP! This will help ensure t-shirts for those boys. It also helps us plan enough supplies for everyone. THANK-YOU for your cooperation with this.

Our theme this year is 'Cubs of the RoundTable'

The Scouts do not need to wear their uniforms. They can come in t-shirts. If they have registered with the Council, there will be t-shirts handed out the 1st day for them to wear both days.

Health History Forms should have been mailed in with your registration.  If they were not, they must be brought to the registration table on Monday morning.

Medications:  Any medicine needed at camp must be given to our on staff nurse.  An 'Orders for Medication' form must be filled out by your parent or guardian.  This is for your protection.

Camp activities will start promptly.  We have a lot of fun things planned for you so please go to bed early the night before.

Please DO NOT bring these items to camp: knives, expensive cameras, matches, fire starters, fireworks, radios, Game Boys, Pokemon cards, glass bottles, or any other items not belonging in camp.
 
Please DO bring these items to camp:  Health History Forms if not in, canteen or water bottle, sun screen, bag lunch for noon, bug repellant, back pack to carry stuff, closed-toe shoes (NOT sandels), rain jacket, hat, inexpensive camera, a good attitude, and be ready to have fun!
 
Every item of apparel and gear should have the Cub's name and Pack number on it.
 
Cub Scouts and adults attending camp each day should bring a box lunch or sack lunch from home.  Make sure your Pack brings enough coolers to refrigerate the lunches.

The BSA does allow Cub Scouts to carry and use a knife at some Scout functions; however, Day Camp is NOT one of them.
 
ADULTS:
Your Pack should be sending a minumum amount of adults for helping at Camp-1-Adult for every 4 Scouts

Day Camp Needs:

Station Leaders, Den Walkers, Assistants, Registration Table Helpers

In some cases, we can use older Boy Scouts and Girls-at least 13, please.
 
If a Troop has some boys available, please let us know that.
 
If you can help to fill a position, please email Rhonda so we can 'fill in the blanks' before the Mon. morning rush.

Any questions, please call the Day Camp Director:  Rhonda Stengel (605) 949-2708 [Click for member's page]

Here's to an awesome Day Camp!

Thank-you for helping to make a great Day Camp experience for your son!
