Family Camp at Piney Creek - 5/19/23 - 5/21/23

Our end of year family camp is fast approaching!  Please sign up on the attendance sheet no later than end of day 5/14 so we know how much food to buy. Here are the details so you can start your planning and packing.

 

 The cost is $50 per person, which includes the cost of the campsites, food & supplies.  Please bring your money with you.

 

We are camping at Piney Creek in Carmel Valley.  Address and directions will be added shortly. 

 

There is a robust agenda planned including fun activities, a crafts table, time at the BB Gun range (a rangemaster will be present), songs and skits around the campfire and much more!

 

If you plan to participate at the BB Gun range, please fill out and bring with you Medical Forms A & B .

Packing List

Here is a list of items you will want to bring with you:

  • Tent (note: a 4 person tent really fits about 2.5 people.  Go bigger if you can.  
  • Tarp for the ground under the tent
  • Inflatable mattress, especially for the grownups, is highly recommended.  The mattress is for comfort, but more importantly to keep you from losing heat into the ground.   
  • Sleeping bags, pillows
  • Extra blankets for sleeping, as the nights will be cold
  • Flashlight, headlight, lantern
  • Camp chairs if you have them 
  • Bug spray, sunblock, hat
  • Warm clothes for night and mornings (tip: bring a comfortable warm cap) 
  • Personal toiletries/prescription meds
  • Sandals for midnight bathroom runs
  • Sturdy shoes for hiking and walking around camp
  • Cub scout class B t-shirt for those that have them
  • Reusable cups/mugs/water bottles.  Something with handles that could take coffee/hot chocolate would be great.
  • Reusable silverware
  • Reusable plates.  We will have some disposable just in case, but let's try to reduce our footprint.
  • Snacks for your group
  • Roll of paper towels & toilet paper (the campsite provides TP, but just in case!)
  • Drinking water if you don't want to drink from the tap (water is tested safe to drink)
  • First Aid Kit & whistle
  • BB Gun – let your den leader know if you are bringing one and be prepared to share its use

 

If there are any other last minute details to add, we’ll post another blog.  Looking forward to seeing you all at Camp!!
