Promote and Prepare

Use this website and the guidebook in explaining the program to parents. Getting the kids excited is easy, just ask “Who wants to play in the snow for a weekend?”.
You have the option to attend as a large group or several smaller groups. Units are not limited to one weekend. We recommend
at least one adult for every five Scouts.
Register by December 31 to get the $5 early bird discount per camper.
Hold a meeting to check each Scout’s gear before leaving for camp.
Let us know ahead of time if any camper has special medical or food needs.
Have a Health History/Parental Permission Form completed for every camper. Bring a duplicate of this form to camp as we are required to keep them for 5 years.
Medications brought to camp must be in their original container.

Typical Day At Camp

Once parked, one adult should come into the Mark Program Center with Health History/Parental Permission Forms and all medication to check in.

Because campers are arriving and leaving at different times throughout the weekend, staff will inform you when you can bring gear inside the Mark Program Center.

After check in, the staff runs the program so step back, relax and have fun! Adults are still responsible for supervision and any necessary discipline. Also, any help you can provide is appreciated.

Meals will be served: Saturday breakfast at 8:00, lunch at 12:30, supper at 6:30, and Sunday breakfast at 8:00.

Overnight campers will stay in the main dining hall building and each camper is provided a cot or mat to sleep on. Night assistance staff are available downstairs. Scouts and adults have separate restroom facilities.

Overnight campers will have the choose of night sledding, indoor BB gun range, board games or a movie.

Before leaving, an adult from the pack should check out with the director to collect patches, pay any remaining balance, and complete an evaluation.
