Summer Camp Payments – DUE January 12
Please do not forget the first scheduled payment for camp is due on January 12, 2026, and is $200.00.
Sign ups for camp are available at the Troop Meetings. If you have not signed up for either camp, you need to do so ASAP, as we are reserving sites for our troop at Camp Meriwether (June 27-July 5, 2026) and Camp Chawanakee (July 13-15, 2026).
Remember a deposit is required for each camp (Meriwether = $50.00 and Chawanakee = $20.00) which is past due NOW. Payments should be made to Carol Nye or Tim Belt at the meeting.
Please see Dave Ishikawa or Nate Roth for more information, or if you need to request a campership. We never want finances to block a scout from attending camp.
