Buckeye District Daycamp
in Worthington
June 16, 17 2007


Sea to Shining Sea

This year Simon Kenton Council chose "Sea to Shining Sea" as the theme for District Daycamps.  We're not sure what they had in mind either, but we're going to have fun bringing activities from sea to shining sea here to Columbus.  Look down the page to see some of the things that we'll be doing.

Al Magnuson, Camp Director
Judy Manley, Program Director

Afternotes

Just a quick note to thank the volunteers and parents who helped make this year's daycamp in Worthington a success.  Scout requirements/achievements covered by camp activities are linked here as HTML, PDF, and Word documents.   Additional pictures will be posted here as we receive them.  The event page also has a list of volunteers who helped with the camp.  Take a moment to look at the list and if you know any of these people, make a point of telling them that you appreciate their time and efforts.

We have a list of campers who still need to receive patches.  The patches will be sent out in a wrapup letter sometime in the next week or so.

Buckeye District Daycamp in Hilliard is July 14, 15.  If you know anyone who would enjoy attending this daycamp, please let them know about the Hilliard camp.  Early bird registration closes on July 2.

Al Magnuson -- Camp Director, June 21, 2007

Daycamp News

We're in the last week of preparation for the Buckeye Daycamp in Worthington.  Our Program Director, Judy Manley, has so much daycamp stuff in her garage that the cars have to sit on the street!  We've just sent out letters by mail/email to all the daycampers.  They're linked below and cover place, time, and checkin, checkout.

The biggest change from last year's format is that we're not having lunches catered.   Your campers will need to bring bag lunches for Saturday lunch and Sunday afternoon.
Construction at Grace Brethren

There is some construction going on at Grace Brethren this summer.  You won't be able to approach the registration area from the parking lot entrances on Lazalle Road.  You will need to enter the south east entrance on Worthington Galena Road.  Registration starts at 8:15.  We have about 50 campers and are looking forward to a great weekend.

The Paperwork . . . .
Paperwork A daycamp flier was circulated at the March Roundtable.   A downloadable version of this flier will be posted in this area as soon as it's finalized.  There will also be a 20 page pack manual with boxes, flow charts, and arrows which will describe daycamp procedures in excruciating detail.  All Cubmasters and Committee Chairs attending camp will be asked to complete an essay exam based on this material (to be graded by Doug Maden, Director of Camping).

We're just kidding about the exam -- it's only multiple choice.  Skim through the manual.  Pay attention to the sections on late arrival or early release if you plan to arrive late or leave early.
