Welcome to Kenilworth Girl Scouts

KENILWORTH GIRL SCOUTS

ALL-TROOP CAMPOUT

Saturday, May 5-Sunday, May 6, 2007

WHO:        All Kenilworth Girl Scout troops are invited to attend!

WHEN:      Depart on Saturday, May 5 in the morning.  Return on Sunday, May 6 around noon.  The check-in and check-out times are 4pm and 3pm, respectively, but hopefully we can get there by noon on Saturday and start our activities.

WHERE:     Girl Scout Camp McCormick, Stillman Valley, IL, near Rockford.  A short drive--about 1 1/2 hours from here.  We will be staying in platform tents with wooden floors and roofs and canvas sides.  Each tent holds 6 people and cots with mattresses are supplied.  An outdoor cooking fire ring, dining shelter, water and latrine are at each campsite.  There is also a central, modern shower house with real plumbing.

WHAT:      All sorts of activities, including an evening campfire with skits, jokes and s’mores, stargazing, hikes, badge work, maybe canoeing and free time to play around.   Details on the scheduled activities will follow.

COST:         I don't know this yet but it will probably be about $20 per person.

PERMISSION SLIPS/RESERVATIONS:
Required permission slip and packing list will be e-mailed to you, along with more detailed information, in the next 2 weeks.  The signed permission slip and a check for the required amount, payable to Kenilworth Girl Scout Troop 102, will reserve your place.  Please return all checks and permissions to Hester McCarthy.   Transportation will be by private car or chartered bus.  Looking forward to being with you in the woods again!
