Hello, Pack 9 families.
We gave out flyers at the Blue and Gold Banquet and reminders through email and at the Pinewood Derby. But now the time is here! SUMMER CAMP!!!
Skip ahead to the section related to your scout.
Day Camp
For those currently in Lions, Tigers, and Wolves (currently grades K-2).
The Day Camps begin on a Friday night with dinner, activities, and smores concluding with a campout sleepover. Saturday includes breakfast, lunch and snacks and a full day of adventure. A parent/guardian must accompany a scout who is camping out on Friday. You can also just choose to attend Saturday only.
The dates and themes are as follows. All Day Camps will have shooting sports (bb gun, archery, slingshot) available, and each camp also feature unique activities only at that camp.
- June 2-3 @ Camp Robert Drake, Fairmount, Americas Safari (flyer)
- June 16-17 @ Wimple Park, Tuscola, Pacific Rim/Asia Safari (flyer)
- June 23-24 @ Champaign County Fairgrounds, Urbana, African Safari (flyer)
The cost for each Day Camp is $40 per scout; $10 per adult for all meals. Volunteers who wish to serve on the full-time Day Camp staff will have the Day Camp registration fee waived for one Scout. If interested contact Lovetta Ash-Simpson at lovetta.ash-simpson@

Adventure Camp
For those currently in Bears and Webelos (currently grades 3-4)
This three-day summer camp is designed for our older boys who are already in or moving into Webelos. There's an amazing variety of activities and events, and it's a great opportunity for the scouts to complete many of their adventure pins. Plus, it's right in our own backyard -- only 45 minutes away at Camp Drake.

The camp begins Wednesday, July 5 after lunch and runs through Saturday, July 8 after breakfast. The cost is $135 per scout, but there is a $5 discount for early registration. I will be there for the entirety of the camp as well as another scout leader. Other adults are encouraged to attend for all or some of camp as well. The cost will not exceed $60 per adult.
To register you scout for Adventure Camp, please complete the following registration materials and submit them to me (Kid Mail via 5R) by Wednesday, April 26. (Turn in by Wednesday, April 19 for the $5 discount.)

Camp Credit
After I receive your email that your scout is going to a camp, I'll reply with the amount due. Those scouts who sold popcorn in the past have earned camp credit toward the camp fees, and your payment will be reduced accordingly.
Contact me to reserve a spot for your scout at these fun and memorable camping adventures.
- April 26 is the deadline for Adventure Camp (grades 3-4)
- May 17 is the deadline for Day Camp (grades K-2)
If you have any questions, please contact Dave Unger.
Thank you,
