This week in our camps

Camp Cooper work weekend is taking place this Friday through Sunday. The good weather will help us prepare camp for this summer’s programs including NYLT and summer camp. Next weekend Camp Pioneer, Butte Creek Ranch (Gilbert) and Scouter’s Mountain will all have Scouters work weekends. These annual events are vital to opening summer camp. What a great way to catch up with old friends and meet new ones while enjoying the camaraderie of making sure our camps are in good shape for our kid’s summer experience. You don’t have to be proficient with a hammer or saw to help. Touching up paint on our camp signs, washing windows or general cleaning are all needed to make our camps look great. For details on how you can participate click this link Work Weekends or call your camp ranger.
