BAKER OUTDOOR LEARNING CENTER
(Spring FAMILY Camping)
April 22nd - 24th, 2022
Pack 283’s annual Family camp is a great chance for Cub Scouts and their families to enjoy the outdoors together and share a fun scouting experience.
We will have Naturalists organizing small group activities for the kids during the day. We will send out a sign up closer to the date but please share with your den leader your interest level so we can plan accordingly. It will be $25 per child/adult. This will include box lunch, refreshments and snacks. If you are missing the camping element of this weekend, families are welcome to camp at the Baker Campground. Overnight camping is not part of this year's event and if families camp they will do so on their own. The only food provided during the day camp will be lunch and some snacks. If you choose to camp, sites along Loop C (non-electric) or D (electric) are good choices. Activities will include:
Note that this year there will be no Saturday breakfast or dinner provided. |
