Wee Camp is available for the children of all adult volunteers only on the day(s) and times the adults are working in the day camp. Children must be potty-trained. The cost for day camp is $5.00 per day or $15.00 for the entire week. This fee covers the child's T-shirt, insurance, and program supplies. Wee Camp will be staffed by qualified adult leadership and will be open all hours of day camp. Children will need to bring a sack lunch and snack and will join the rest of the camp for snack time and lunch time.
Transportation:
Transportation to and from Day Camp is the parent's responsibility. We recommend that you arrange a carpool with the adults attending from your pack. If someone other than the parents are going to pick up your scout, we must have written notice in advance (this includes grandparents, relatives, and family friends). All names must be listed on the Scout's Health History form.
In the event of a late arrival, you will be required to drop off your Scout at our Camp Headquarters for sign-in. Early pick-ups must be signed out and staff members notified.
What to (and not to) Wear:
1) The day camp uniform will consist of the day camp t-shirt and your choice of long or short pants. The day camp t-shirt will be handed out on the first day of camp. Socks and closed toe shoes are required (no sandals or Heelys). Each Scout must be in a day camp t-shirt for easy identification. This should be worn all four days.
2) Be prepared for all weather.
