Family Camp Memorial Day weekend

Hello everyone,
As you know Pico Blanco is closed for family camp.  This year we are planning to go to Camp Chesebrough in the Santa Cruz mountains.  The camp website is here for those who would like to check it out.

Family Camp has been the highlight of our Cub Scouting year for several years now.  It is a great weekend full of fun activities.  The boys talk about it all year and can't wait to go back next time.

The camp is filling up quickly so we need to sign up soon to ensure we can get a spot.  I  have added a page to the sign-in spreadsheet.  Please go there right away and sign up.  We have to list who is going by categories, so you will notice the sign up sheet has those same categories.  Please add your info by those same categories.  If anything is unclear just email us.

The cost is $55 per person for those 6 and up.  Anyone 5 and under is free,  Because many of our new families do not have a lot of camping experience, we typically take care of providing all the food.  We will ask families to help with preparing meals and cleaning up, but the only things you will need to bring is your own camping equipment: tents, sleeping bags, clothes, toiletries, utensils, plates, etc.  As we get closer we will provide a more detailed list.  You will not need to bring any cooking gear like camp stoves.

Please sign up right away. The deadline will be Wednesday March 8.  If you sign up after that we may still be able to add you, if there are openings.

Thank you
Steve T

  1. Our family has a small (21 ft) camping trailer. Could we bring that, or is the campground tent only?

    1. Also, we have a large family with mostly young kids. Going by the rules, our out of pocket would be $275 - this is roughly 3 times what a typical camping weekend costs us.

      What is the cost breakdown between facility usage, food, and other costs?
