Summer Camp - 2010 Overnight Campouts 2010 Overnight Campout Info and Registration

General Information

Schedule of Events - The basic plan is to set up camp, cook dinner, play games, go swimming, go for a night hike and enjoy other campout activities. If weather permits, we will spend time sitting around a campfire, telling stories, and enjoying each other’s company.

Equipment List - Sleeping bag, bed pad, pillow, rain jacket, warm clothes, change of clothes, extra towel, bathing suit, water bottle, flashlight, and teddy bear, if needed. Also, don’t forget the toothbrush and toothpaste. Camp Beech Cliff will provide tents for all campers.

Food - CBC will provide a dinner and breakfast for the campers and staff attending the overnight. Campers may be asked to assist in the preparation of the food for either meal. We will cook over an open campfire whenever the meal plan and weather allows for it.

Length of Overnight - Friday 4:00 PM until 9:00 AM Saturday.

Pick-up Time - 9:00 AM Saturday Morning at CBC Headquarters Building.

Further Details - If your child has never attended an overnight before, or slept out in the woods, please talk with him/her about the possibility of being homesick or scared. We will do our best to encourage your child to stay at the overnight and enjoy the experience. Campers and staff will be camping out in tents in our ball field. In the event of severe inclement weather and safety concerns, campers can be moved inside to our Eagle’s Nest building. Overnights are staffed by the Camp Director or the Camp Coordinator in addition to selected camp counselors. We always maintain staff:camper ratios that meet or better American Camp Association (ACA) standards for each age group of campers.

Medications - Any medications must be checked in with the medical staff (Camp Nurse/EMT/Widerness First Responder) or Director when they arrive to camp. Both medical and overnight staff MUST know what the medication is and when/how it is given. The medical staff will relay all medical and medication information to an overnight staff member.

2010 Registration and Fees - There is a $35 additional charge per camper for each CBC overnight. Overnights are limited to 30 participants and are very popular - early registration is recommended. In the event that we are overbooked for an overnight, preference will be given to campers who have not had a prior opportunity to participate in this activity, followed by other campers in order by the date registration was received. Registration forms are available from the camp office and on the web. A child does not have to be registered at camp for that week in order to be able to attend the overnight. However, he/she must be brought to CBC with the proper equipment at 4:00 PM on the Friday of the overnight. The $35 additional charge will be added to the family’s invoiced amount, unless payment is sent along with the overnight registration.

Parents of overnight campers are invited to join in campout activities and the BBQ cookout from 5:00-6:30pm.
