Day Camp At Lake Banet, Rensselaer

June 11-14, 2012

Welcome Day Campers! Day Camp time will soon be here. We look forward to another great year! Leader forms, Roster forms, and the required Youth & Adult Health Forms are accessible via the forms page at www.sagamoresignals.com.

On Monday, June 11, registration will begin at 8:00 at the main picnic shelter at Lake Banet. You will get your den assignments at that time. We plan to begin opening ceremonies at 8:30 and the activities at 8:50. We will have all your favorites including: BB guns, archery, and swimming. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday you do not need to come as early; be here at 8:20 for sign-in before opening ceremonies at 8:30. Camp ends with closing ceremony at 2:50.

Parents: There is a sign-in/sign-out policy. Each day you will need to sign your son into camp at the main shelter and sign him out with the den leader. If someone other than you will be picking up your son, written notification is required. Again this policy is to ensure each boy’s safety, and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Things to remember:

Hat, drinking cup, swimsuit, towel, bug spray, sun tan lotion, and a sack lunch and drink. Thank You!

The camp will have water at the activities and for den use. That’s why you need your cup. A cup with a handle to put on your belt works great!

You will need to wear closed toe shoes (sneakers) at all times in the camp, even going to and from the swimming area. No flip-flops or crocs please!

All parent volunteers need to check-in at headquarters to complete paper work and get your instructions each day.

Camp happens whether it is SUNNY OR RAINING. We will have an alternative location if weather does not permit us to be at the lake. So come regardless of the weather.

Thanks to all the parent volunteers. You make this camp happen. You will have a great time. Bring your swimsuit and enjoy the fun with the boys. Be ready to sing at opening and closing ceremonies.

Note: Please mark all the boys clothing, and items they bring with them to camp. Hopefully this will help eliminate all the extra lost and found articles throughout the week.
