Q: Can I send extra food and candy with my son?

A:  We dont recommend it, because we do have skunks, raccoons, and other animals that are attracted to the smells of food.  If your sons leader has provisions to store food, a limited amount is OK.  Our Trading Post has candy, ice cream, and soda and this helps the leader control the Scouts intake.

Q: What should we do about ticks and mosquitoes?

A:  We are in the woods and sometimes we believe that someone is cultivating these varmints.  If you send insect repellent make sure that it is lotion and not spray.  Spray takes out the waterproofing in tents, and is flammable.  Leaders may bring citronella candles for the campsite, but open flames are not allowed anywhere near tents that by their nature are very flammable.

Q:  When can we arrive?

A:  Please arrive between 8:00 am and 11:00am.  When you arrive proceed directly to Front Lodge with your den. 

Q:  How much money should I send with my son?

A:  This is up to you, but we do not recommend that you send a lot.  All camp costs are included in the fee.  Send enough for a camp t-shirt, some souvenirs, and some eats.  You may ask your leader to hold your sons cash if you would like. 

Q:  What health form do we need for camp?

A:  All we need is a Health history for Mini-camp.  You can download that form from this website.

Q:  When do we pick up our son?

A.  Pick up your son between 7:30 and 8:00 pm. 

Q:  What should we expect from our son when he comes home?

A:  He will be dirty, happy and tired.  Also get ready to hear some really wild songs.

Q: What about next summer?

A:  Second year Webelos attend Webelos Camp at Camp May outside of St. Louis for an entire week.  Special programs there include Mud Cave, branding, and more work on activity pins such as Aquanaut, Forester, and Geologist.
