Both our troop and Cradle of Liberty have camperships available for families that need them, just reach out if you have questions.
We need to know which adults are interested in attending and how many scouts they would be able to drive up and back to camp. If there are 2 adults that would be interested in splitting a week, that would be possible. We will most likely need people that are willing to drive, but might not be able to stay over.
We have reserved a campsite that will accommodate up to 40 people, so signup soon to guarantee your spot.
