We saved the best for last! Memorial Weekend Family Camp

Calling all campers!

Memorial Weekend Family camp is finally here! This year we will be camping in Pinnacles National Monument and will be exploring the trails and caves on the East Pinnacles side. Please note: you cannot access this through King City, you have to go around the Hollister side.

We will be arriving Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday morning. 

Preliminary Details:

Date: Friday and Saturday May 24th and 25th, leaving Sunday morning. You are welcome to come for one or two nights. Flat rate per person, so come when you can.

Food: We provide all the food and cook as a team. Each family is assigned to help prepare one meal. You will be paired with someone who has done this before :)

Cost: $20 per Scout and $30 for everyone else (5 yrs and under free). Includes camping and food, regardless of when you arrive. (Yes, that's a great deal!). So the longer you stay, the better deal you get. Additional cost: The park entrance fee is $30 per car. (We are charging less this year to reflect our mistletoe sales and we want to off-set the entrance fee).

Who can come: Your whole family is welcome.  Once we have our pack families signed up,  we can offer additional spots to friends if we have room. We have a limited number of spaces, so please sign up asap if you want a spot.

Camping equipment needed: Tent, air mattress, sleeping bags, chairs, plates and eating utensils and your personal items. Don't forget your swim suit, there is a small pool and it can get pretty warm. Headlamps for the caves are also necessary.

We will bring all cooking equipment, we will need propane tanks, so if you have one let us know!

We will send out a more detailed itinerary nearer the time. Please sign up on the attendance sheet and bring a check to our last meeting. If you have trouble signing up, please contact your den leader.

Speaking of which: Our last meeting this scouting year is Monday May 13th 6pm. We will be awarding our cub scouts in a special ceremony. Don't miss it!

See you there, Lucy.
