Unique to Sharpe. You must have a Colman stove to cook meals. There are no fireplaces to cook on. If you need to borrow one contact Mary Ellis. OR buy one with your troop funds. ALSO Must have rubber storage boxes for food. There are no closed closets. You may drive your car quite close to your unit. Suggest you leave food items in cars to avoid critters. ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD in the sleeping units....also no candy etc. unless you want to be visited by critters. This is a carry out camp...meaning you take your garbage with you on Sunday so bring extra garbage bags and double bag if you must.

Arrival: Friday night, September 7

Friday night have the girls bring a bag supper. You supply the s'mores and drinks for later ( or have your s'mores  Sat night before the community campfire).  The water from the taps in the different units is fine.

Saturday morning: Low Ropes for 6th grade and up. Boating for all and camping patch workshop for 4th and 5th graders.  Leaders must stay with their troops at all activities and assist the lifeguards.

Third grade troops come up for the day (10am to 2pm)and we will need some older troops to do a craft with them,  take them on a tour and song workshop and have lunch.  They will bring a bag lunch. Cost for third graders is $6 per camper.

Saturday night 8pm campfire. Bring logs to donate and logs if you want to build your own fire at your campsite. Consider inviting a younger troop from the cabins to join your campfire. Practice a song or skit to lead/perform at the community campfire. Bring props as needed.

Sunday AM Scouts Own. Another opportunity to perform. Theme :A Flag Ceremony Remembrance of Sept. 11th. A Scout's Own is a type of ceremony related to a religious service, but is used for scouting...it is a solemn type of ceremony that relates to the different worlds of scouting. After the Scout's Own we will have a friendship circle for the entire community. This is a nice way to end the weekend.  The girls should plan to have a song or skit for this morning event. 

Departure: Sunday by 10am, Sept. 9

  Only 4th grade troops will be in nice cabins. Leaders must have OLS I and II and someone must have First Aid or be a medical professional.
