Day Camp June 18th - 22nd

Day Camp is a 4 day event (no overnighter) that runs from 9am to 3pm Monday June 18 to Thursday June 21. A Pack chartered bus will pickup the scouts and walking leaders (parent volunteers) at Heatherstone each morning and return them at the end of each day.The theme this year for Day Camp is Wild West Cubs.  Day Camp is open to all Cub Scouts (currently in grades 1-4), classmates at Heatherstone and friends (Boys only please)Campout.  Boys currently in kindergarten are also welcome to attend Day Camp.  However, a parent will need to be present each day of Camp.  For parents with current 1st-4th grade students, we will need you to commit to at least 1 day of camp.  We will also need a couple of parents to be staffers for Day Camp.  This is an opportunity to work at a station or run the Trading Post.  The cost to attend Day Camp is $55 (if paid by the March Pack Meeting) otherwise it is $65.  Here is the information District has provided on Day Camp:

Calling all Cub Scouts and Webelos!  Round up friends from your Pack along with any classmates who are eligible to be Cub Scouts or Webelos, and ya'll come to the Red-Tailed Hawk 2012 Day Camp at Lake Olathe, June 18th-22nd.  Day Camp this year is all about the Wild West - where you can find fun and adventure waiting for you at each turn.  This is one camp you won't want to miss!

Your friends do NOT have to be registered as Scouts to attend, and once they see how much fun we have, why wouldn't they want to join you - and maybe join your Pack?

You can count on fun at the ranges (BBs, sling shots, and archery), the bucking bronco, disc golf, fishing, water slide, and MUCH more.  There will even be some select and separate activities for Webelos this year!  For now, those adventures are a bit secret, but FOR SURE they won't be the same things you get at Webelos Camp!

I am the Day Camp Coordinator this year so If you want to sign-up your Cub Scout for Day Camp email me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and I will add him to the list.  I will collect money and get started on forms at the March pack meeting.  Let me know any questions you have.
