  • Early bird ended Jan 31. Fee is $675.

Adults:

A troop of our size needs about 7-8 adults to be able to efficiently manage summer camp. So we need you! In exchange for contributing your time to support our kids for the week, the troop will cover the adult costs for summer camp. Part week is ok, but we will need to coordinate coverage.
