Day Camp Info
Day Camp is a
great opportunity for Cub Scouts to get out into the outdoors and focus on
passing off requirements for a whole day. We start early in the morning by
meeting at the church to arrange the carpool. It takes about an hour to get to
either Camp Kiesel or Fife, and then after checking in and playing a few games with the staff,
we officially begin the Camp Program with a flag ceremony.
For most of the rest of the day, the boys rotate
between 6 and 8 different stations where they work on many requirements for
their Cub Scout advancement. The stations include
a BB gun shooting range, an archery range, and a canoeing section. Be assured
that BSA follows proper safety rules and procedures for these activities to keep
everyone having fun without getting hurt.
Each boy needs to bring his own lunch to eat at
the appropriate time, as well as a water bottle for proper hydration. During the
day we will be singing all kinds of silly songs and doing lots of silly cheers
as part of the fun. There is also a trading post where boys can buy things such
as pocket knives, fur pelts, patches, shirts, craft kits, candy, and other items
with can range from $1
to $30. Starting in 2010, the boys will need a permission slip to buy a knife
while at camp. After a closing flag ceremony, we all pile in the cars and return
home exhausted!
Note:
Beginning in 2011, the wards have asked the Cubs' families to pay for camp
($20).
If you are unable to do this, speak with your bishop for alternative
arrangements.
The final dates for Day Camp at Camp Fifein 2013 are as
follows:
Wolves/Bears - June 17th
Webelos - June 21st
Note: Camps Kiesel and Fife provide an overnight
camping experience for Webelos Scouts, but current Church regulations
don't allow for overnight camping. Instead we will be going to a regular
day camp for Webelos.
