2008 CAMP INDEX Updated: 02/22/2010 (scroll down for full descriptions) COMING EVENTS: San Lorenzo Park Camp - May 2008 [see detail below] China Camp to Big Sur Backpack Trek - May 2008 [see detail below] Camp Chawanakee - June 2008 [see detail below] Pico Blanco Resident Summer Camp - July 2008 [see detail below] Mountain Man Rendezvous Camp - Sept 2008 [see detail below] Winter Camp @ Yosemite - February 2009 [see detail below] First Timer Camp - April 2009 [see detail below] Catalina Island Summer Camp - June 2009 [see detail below] Philmont Scout Ranch @ New Mexico - July 2009 [click here for details] All participants in summer camp, including adults, must have a current physical. Adults need a class III physical. These are good for one year. Scouts need a class I and II physical. The class II is good for three years. The class I is nothing more than an annual update by parents. These are simple physicals, of the variety that can be done by your physician or by DOCTORS ON DUTY. Since I know you all are very busy, I am providing the forms for you now, so you have several weeks to take care of your physical. By the way, if your scout has recently had a physical for school or sports, there is a good chance you can drop the forms off where he had the physical, and the doc will sign these papers without needing to see their patient once again. If you are an adult just visiting summer camp and maybe staying one night for the drop off or pick up, we have in the past not been required to have a physical on you, since you are not participating in camp activities.
San Lorenzo Park Camp		May 9 - 11
San Lorenzo Park Camp Troop 90 will take a step back into the turn-of-the-century while visiting San Lorenzo County Park. This is a Patrol Cooking Camp in which we will visit the Rural Life Museum, La Gloria one-room School (1887) and the restored King City Southern Pacific Rail Depot. The park offers ideal conditions for Capture the Flag and water balloons.
China Camp to Big Sur Backpack		May 24 - 26
China Camp to Big Sur Backpack Trek WOW! The absolute most beautiful stretch of 24 miles on the planet awaits. This annual backpacking trek will consist of three 8-mile backpacking days. Enjoy the sunset from Pine Ridge the first night and enjoy a swim at Barlow Flats the second night. This is one of our most popular trips, back by popular demand.

Drivers are needed; Drivers are welcome to stay the night (s) on the drop off day and pick up day. Many Scouts are returning to this camp from last year. It is a GREAT camp. Notes on Camp Chawanakee: 1. This is the first out-of-council camp our boys asked to go back in consecutive years. They loved it last year. 2. The food is awesome. 3. The program is awesome. 4. Expect more water in Shaver Lake this year. ASM Fuerst, the troop hydrologist, will be preparing a detailed report. 5. New scouts can join a skills patrol and finish camp (with the exception of their BOR) a 2nd Class Scout. They can also earn up to 3 merit badges as well. I would like to have our new guys strongly consider attending camp. Call or email any questions to SM Randall 241-8871
