This Saturday August 1st will be the Pack 843 Family Camping Event at Camp Annawana. If you haven’t signed up, please register now on the sign-ups page. Registration will close on Wednesday so we have time to buy the food. (If you signed up but can’t make it, let me know now!)
WHAT TO BRING: here is a general idea of what to pack for the trip.
- Sleeping bag
- pillow
- flashlight
- unbreakable dinner service (plate, cup, silverware) for each person
- toiletries (soap, toothbrush, tooth paste, shampoo, wash cloth, towel, deodorant)
- bug spray
- sun screen
- hat and sun glasses
- reusable water bottle (filled)
- change of clothes and extra shoes
- rain gear
- warm jacket or fleece
- pocket knife (if you have a whittling-chip)
Families have the option to sleep on cots in the cabin (which will be divided into the boys’ room and the girls’ room), or to sleep as a family in your own tent. We will have experienced campers on hand to help you set up your tent, but if you choose that option, think about bringing:
- tent
- ground cloth
- sleeping pads or cots
Here are some things to leave at home:
- Electronica (let’s let the boys experience the outdoors)
- open-toed shoes and Crocs
- fireworks
We will collect $3 per camper to help pay for the food — please bring exact change. The activities start at 1:00 on Saturday.
Here are the directions to the camp. Note that the “Anawana Hunting and Fishing Club” is right next door — don’t turn in there!
