Volunteers are welcome and needed to run a successful camp. Pack Leaders, Den
Leaders, Parents, Guardians, adult family members and mature youth are encouraged to volunteer! We highly encourage all adults to take the online Youth Protection Training prior to attending camp. Please contact the camp director for more details. A wristband will be provided at check-in to all adults for identification purposes.
Choose a Camp
Your pack may choose to attend ANY camp. Consider the date
and location to determine which is best for your boys and leadership. One-day camps are designed for Tiger, Wolves, Bears and
Webelos scouts. Two-day camps are designed for Webelos only.
Bear Cubs who will become Webelos during the summer may attend the two-day camps. Camps fill quickly, so sign up early to get

**Pack registration is not a placeholder for late registrants, even from
the same pack.**
Camps will close at 135 scouts.
Pack Number
Everything at camp is organized by pack number. You will need your pack number
to register, pick up t-shirts and to check in at camp. Please be sure that everyone
attending camp knows your pack number.
Pack Contact Person
We highly recommend that someone in your pack be First Contact Person— in charge
of collecting health forms, receiving and passing along information, and attending
camp orientation. This person needs to be a reliable adult with an e-mail address
and phone number. Please provide a Second Contact, so camp staff can ensure your
pack receives important information and reminders.
What about Webelos Woods?
If you are a WEBELOS Leader, check out Webelos Woods! Day camp and Webelos
woods will compliment each other. You can go to both and get a whole new set of
achievements!!! How exciting is that?

What is a Walking Leader?
A walking leader is an adult who walks from station to station, staying with the
scouts during the day at camp. Your duty is to directly supervise your boys at camp,
including:
- Check in yourself and your scouts at the Registration area. Verify attendance and
make sure all forms are complete and accurate. For 2-day camps, you must verify
attendance BOTH days
- Enforce the buddy system
- Provide discipline for your pack
- Escort your scouts to each station, and assist with activities
- Keep track of possible achievements for each boy (a list will be provided for each
pack)
- Plan transportation to and from camp
- Supervise your scouts during lunchtime
- Communicate with Camp Staff
- Help the scouts keep track of their belongings
- Be cheerful with all types of personalities you will meet during the day :)
Each pack must have 2 adults (18+) for up to 10 scouts, and one additional adult for
each additional 1-5 scouts. Den Chiefs do not qualify as walking leaders, but we
would love to see them at camp. One adult must be registered as a leader and have
completed Youth Protection Training (see link.)
THANK YOU for your time and positive attitude!
Fees
Camp fees paid before April 8, 2015 are $30.00 for one-day camps, and $45.00 for
two-day camps. After April 8th, fees go to $35 (1-day) and $50 (2-day). Gold card
Packs will receive a $5 discount per scout. Fees are charged at the end of the business day. All payments are due at the time of registration.
Fees include a camp t-shirt, camp participation patch, and all materials for the boys.
We only purchase enough materials for paying Scouts. There will not be enough for
adults or others to make the projects. There is no fee for volunteers, but camp tshirts are available for $10, and adults 2XL and up for $12 each. Please order at
time of registration to ensure the correct size is available.
Refund Policy
It is the policy of the Ore-Ida Council that all fees are transferable, but not refundable. Changes must be made 5 business days prior to your camp or the camp you
wish to attend. The Council must commit financial resources to make Day Camp
possible. Therefore, you are expected to attend camp on the date you selected.

Forms, Forms, Forms
Health and Medical Record— EVERYONE at camp (scouts, parents, leaders, volunteers, etc) must complete a current BSA Health and Medical Record form, parts A
and B (see link.) The doctor’s physical and insurance card are NOT required. This is
a National BSA Standard Requirement. Youth Volunteers/Den Chiefs (under age 18)
must have a parent/guardian’s signature on their completed form.
In the event of an emergency, we need these forms to give to medical personnel.
Even if you have a Health and Medical Record on file at the Scout office or with your
Pack, we need to have an additional copy at camp. Photocopies are acceptable. All
Health and Medical Record forms are returned at the end of camp, or destroyed.
Medical Awareness
This box on the registration form is to inform Camp Staff of any conditions we need
to know about (medications at camp, life-threatening allergies, ADD/ADHD, autism,
other health conditions, hearing aids, wheelchairs, etc.) Please write “Yes” in the
box and we will check the Health and Medical Record form for more information.
Sudden conditions, such as a broken bone in a cast , can be added at camp. ALL
medications at camp need to be in the original containers, labeled with name and
pack number, to turn over to the Health Officer at check-in. The Health Officer will
dispense medications as required. For legal and safety reasons, Pack leaders are not
allowed to dispense medications.
Rescue inhalers and Epi-pens may remain with walking leaders, but must be reported to the Health Officer. We want your scouts and leaders to be safe and healthy at
camp.
Two-Deep Leadership- Two-deep leadership on all outings is required. Two registered adult leaders, or one registered leader and a parent of a participating Scout or
other adult, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required for all trips
and outings.
Youth Protection Training— One BSA registered adult must complete Youth Protection Training (YPT) prior to camp (see link.) We highly encourage all adults to take
the online Youth Protection Training prior to attending camp.
Tour and Activity Plan— Each Pack must submit a Tour and Activity Plan to the
Scout Office, 21 days prior to camp (see Link.) You can file the Tour and Activity
Plan early, so do it now! Only one plan is required per Pack, even if you arrive in
separate vehicles. A copy of the approved Tour and Activity Plan must accompany
your Pack at camp.
Label ALL belongings with Name
and Pack number
6
Transportation
Transportation is the responsibility of each Pack. Whether you plan to carpool or
meet at camp, please follow these guidelines so everyone arrives safely:
Make sure everyone knows what your Pack’s plan is, especially for 2-day camps.
Parents, Leaders and Scouts need to know where to meet, what time and how
they are getting home.
Use caution and stay alert in Risk Zones (entrances, exits and parking areas)
All Scouts and volunteers must wear seat belts when riding in any vehicle. If your
child cannot fasten their own seat belt, you must inform the driver.
Scouts are not allowed to travel in the backs of trucks or campers.
File your Tour and Activity Plan early to the Scout Office
Orientation Meeting
Adults who are going to camp must attend orientation meeting. You will meet Camp
staff, learn about the camp you are attending, ask questions and pick up camp tshirts for your Pack. Please attend the correct orientation for the Camp you are attending. See the 2015 Day Camp Schedule for details.
Arriving at Camp
Check-in begins at 8:30 am. Please arrive on time. Opening Ceremonies will be
promptly at the time specified for your camp. A gathering activity will be available
for the scouts.
1. When you locate the check-in area, designate one adult to check in your Pack.
This person will:
A. Verify Scouts’ attendance. Scouts without completed forms
and payment cannot stay at camp.
B. Verify Leaders’ attendance. If adults attending are different
than the adults listed on the original registration form,
they must have a completed Health and Medical Record
form, and one must be a BSA registered adult and have
completed Youth Protection Training. Please bring forms
already filled out.
C. —All adults will be required to wear a wristband to show that
they are checked in.
—EVERYONE must check-in with camp staff. Even if you are a
parent dropping off a forgotten lunch (or something else) you
must come to the check-in area first. We will assist you in finding your scout. Please respect this policy. Camper safety is
top priority.
2. The other adults can proceed to the gathering area with the scouts. Each Pack
will be put into groups to visit each station. Larger packs may be split into two
groups, and smaller packs may be combined with other packs to keep the groups
balanced. This is one reason why additional leaders are needed.

What to Bring
• Camp T-shirt, this is the uniform at
camp
• Refillable water bottle
• Sturdy shoes that can get wet
• NO open toed shoes, flip flops or crocs
• Sack lunch and something to store it
in
• Sunscreen
• Bug Spray
• Hat (recommended)
• Rain gear (watch the weather forecast, and be prepared)
• Backpack, so boys can carry their own
belongings
• Pencil or Pen
• Spending money for the Trading Post
• A Positive Attitude
Please Leave at Home
• Pets
• Pocket Knives
• Electronic devices (ipods, MP3 players, youth cell phones, hand held
games, etc)
• Matches, lighters or fireworks
• Unregistered youth, young children or
siblings not working at camp
In addition, each group may find it helpful to pile backpacks, water bottles, etc. in a
wagon to take from station to station. This is optional.
The Buddy System
Please enforce the Buddy System at camp! No boy is allowed to
go anywhere without another Scout or Buddy, this includes the
restroom and the Trading Post. Please discuss the Buddy System
with your scouts and all leaders before coming to camp. This will
help keep your group together and safe.
Lunch and Drinking Water
Everyone will need to bring their own lunch and cold storage. We suggest sack
lunches that can be kept in a cooler until lunchtime. You will have plenty of time for
lunch, so please leave coolers in your car. Feel free to bring camp chairs and shade
pop-ups to create your own shade area. Some (not all) camps have covered areas,
which you are also welcome to use. Everyone should bring a refillable water bottle,
labeled with your name and Pack number. Refill stations will be available throughout each camp.
Your Pack can choose where you eat lunch, but each Pack should stay together.
Please supervise your scouts. They may visit the trading post, restrooms, etc. using
the buddy system.
Practice ‘Leave No Trace’ and take your trash to the dumpster or your car. Not all
camps have trash facilities, so please ‘haul it in, haul it out.’ THANK YOU!!
8
Early Departure
The Camp Director must sign out EVERYONE who needs to leave EARLY. Early
is considered any time before closing ceremonies. The adult picking up a scout must
be listed in the early release section of the Health and Medical form, or the boy cannot be released. Volunteers need to sign out with the Camp Director, so we know
who is still there, and if replacements are needed.
Trading Post
Each camp will have a Trading Post where snack foods, candy, cold drinks, snow
cones, camp t-shirts and Scout Souvenirs can be purchased. What do the scouts
LEARN at The Trading Post??? They learn decision-making skills, responsibility,
honesty, budgeting, math, integrity, delayed gratification, time-management, and so
much more! The Trading Post is an important and exciting part of camp for the
scouts! We recommend that every scout have money to spend at the Trading Post.
Proceeds from the Trading Post help keep the costs of camp down. Recommended
spending money is $15.
Phones and other Electronic Distractions
The Camp Director will have a phone available for emergencies only. All adults are
expected to leave their personal cell phones off and refrain from use while at camp.
Scouts bringing cell phones will be asked to leave them with their Walking Leaders
while at camp. Please leave all other electronic devices at home.
Restrooms & Port-a-Potties when Nature Calls
All locations have port-a-potties available for your use. All scouts must use the Buddy
System when visiting these facilities. The facilities are in plain view of camp and can
be accessed any time.
Praise and Discipline
When you see a boy do something good, praise him openly in front of the group.
When you see a boy behaving inappropriately, pull him aside and talk to him about
his behavior. Make sure you are out of earshot, but within sight of others. Please
do not belittle or embarrass him. If he continues to misbehave, contact the Camp Director. Remember to maintain 2-deep leadership at all times.
Water + Dirt = Mud
If there is any source of water, the scouts will most likely find it and get wet. Water
and dirt make mud. The scouts will be doing a variety of activities that could include
sweating, getting dirty and coming home stinky. They will also have a wonderful
time! So, have the shower ready :)
9
Medicine and First Aid
ALL medications at camp need to be in the original containers, labeled with name
and pack number, to turn over to the Health Officer at check-in. Rescue inhalers and
Epi-pens may remain with walking leaders, but must be reported to the Health Officer.
Report ALL injuries to the Camp Health Officer, no matter how small they may be.
The Health Officer can be found at the First Aid Station in the Trading Post area.
NEVER send a boy to the First Aid Station alone. Use the Buddy System at all times
at camp.
Emergency Procedures
Listen for 3 blasts on the horn. It is the signal for emergency. Gather at the
gathering area and specific instructions will be given.
Severe Weather
Electrical Storm: Stay away from trees and buildings, take scouts quickly to your
cars.
Severe Rain or Hail: Take cover in nearest shelter or take scouts to your cars and
wait for directions from Camp Director.
Winds: Stay away from trees and get into an open area.
If your camp cannot take place because of severe weather, camp staff will do their
best to contact you with a change of date or location. This is one reason it is important to have accurate and legible information on your Pack Registration form.
Lost Boy
Send an adult to contact Camp Director
Search in the most likely places: restrooms, vehicles, trading post, etc.
Follow the directions of the Camp Director
Health Emergencies
