Campout THIS WEEKEND!

Yay! It is that time of year again: Service Area Weekend.

Highlights include a 3-hour trail ride on the horses, building our own fire and cooking our own dinner on said fire.

Here are the details parents should know:

DROP-OFF/PICKUP:

Please arrive at Camp Coleman NO LATER than 5:00pm, Friday, October 15. I'm planning to go up as soon after school lets out as possible. If you need a ride for your daughter, I have 4 extra seats in my car to offer. Just let me know if you would like for me to give your daughter a ride (Kari: 215-3789). We need the girls to be punctual so that we will have enough time to build a fire and prepare our dinner.

Please pick up your daughter from Camp Coleman shortly after 4:30 Saturday afternoon. (Or she can ride with me if you let me know ahead of time, since I have only 4 extra seats.)

WHAT TO PACK:
  • Sleeping bag and a twin fitted sheet to put over cot mattress
  • Pillow
  • Light jacket
  • HARD SOLED riding shoes for the trail ride Saturday morning. Tennis shoes will NOT be permitted.They don't have to be "riding boots" per se, but they do need to have a hard sole with a slightly elevated heel (so that feet don't slip out of stirrups). Should also cover the ankle if possible.
  • Tennis shoes for all other activities
  • Jeans for the trail ride on Saturday. Shorts will not be permitted. Your daughter may bring shorts to wear for other activities.
  • Pink troop shirt that we made at last meeting. We will wear this on Saturday. If you left your daughter's shirt at my house, don't worry; I will bring it for her to wear. If you're not sure if you have it or not, give me a call (215-3789).
  • LUNCH for Saturday. (Troop is providing dinner Friday and breakfast Saturday)
  • flashlight
  • simple toiletries such as toothbrush and toothpaste
  • WARM pajamas! Although it is pleasant during the day, it gets quite cold at night and we are in open-air cabins.
  • Bug spray/sunscreen
  • Hat or bandana for hiking
We are really excited and think the girls are going to have a blast. Please let me or Heather know if you have any questions.

Cheers!
