What Does the Registration Fee Include?

Hot dinner Saturday evening and breakfast Sunday morning will be served in the air-conditioned camp dining hall! And, of course, you and your parent/legal guardian get to keep the leatherworking projects you make during craft time as well as a super fantastic collector’s participation patch reminding you of all the fun you had at FUN WITH SON. A special camp T-shirt for you both is part of the fun, too!

Don’t forget...
Eat lunch before you arrive on Saturday (there are lots of places in Clayton) because we can’t stop the fun from starting once you arrive!!!

Activities

You can hike, fish, learn to shoot bb guns, do leatherwork, swim, canoe, participate in archery, & explore nature.

Saturday Night

Tell your friends you’re going to sleep outside under the stars, in a tent, or an Adirondack (three sided building with a roof and a floor) that has cots.

Check-In/Arrival

Tell your parent/guardian that you should arrive at camp between 11 am ~ 12 Noon on Saturday. Everything starts at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday after you check-in and the fun is not over until 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning!!!

IMPORTANT!!!

Space is limited, so be sure you get registered for your weekend(s) early. Get signed up because it’s first come, first serve! This camp is very popular and may fill quickly!!

Some Helpful Hints

• Campfire songs & skits – Cub Scouts and parents are welcome to perform a short skit, tell a story, or sing a song at the campfire. Please let us know at check-in!.
• Be prepared...to hike! All participants will need to carry their own gear from the parking lot to their campsite (up to 1/2 mile) so wear your walking shoes. No vehicles are allowed beyond the parking lot.
