Camp-O-Ree 2009

This year’s Camp-O-Ree will be taking place at Camp NoBeBoSco in Blairstown, NJ on April 3-5th, 2009. Rain or shine. (This is before Spring break and baseball).

Pack 144 needs to book space now, so they are asking for sign-ups/money by October 30th. I will need to know if you plan to attend by this week's den meeting at North Boulevard School.


Overview:

  1. Each den can camp in heated cabins, grouped by den. (heating is a small additional cost)
  2. Cost is $10 per person (non-refundable, unless there is a problem booking our date)
  3. An adult/parent must attend with their Tiger Cub son.
  4. Siblings are allowed, but keep in mind that younger siblings probably won’t be comfortable in this setting.
  5. Bathroom facilities are “rustic” latrine-style and are unheated.
  6. We can attend on Friday and Saturday night, just Saturday night, or come for the day (no cost, but we must register). For Tigers, it is advised overnight camping for only ONE night and I am suggesting that if we have enough interested families and space permits, we would camp on Saturday night.
  7. Tigers are welcome (provided they have the space), but please keep in mind how well your cub will be able to sleep away from home.
  8. Activities include: hiking, fishing, campfires, activities with the boy scouts, possibly archery with a certified instructor at a small additional cost.
  9. Food/cooking is purchased/prepared by den and cooked outdoors on a campfire and campstoves which our den brings. Dens also bring their own firewood.
  10. All attendees will be required to fill out Class one Medical forms (kept by den leader, or designated den representative) and the den leader will fill out and file proper tour permits.
  11. Scout siblings of different ages/dens can stay with parent in whichever den they choose.
  12. Registration for scouts is in March. Scouts must be registered to attend.
  13. Women can attend (many are planning to) but we can’t guarantee separate quarters. Alison Afflitto will do what she can, depending on participation.
  14. Tents can be set up outside cabins, but keep in mind, it may be cold.
