The Check in Procedure for 2011

Before you Arrive at Camp

Prior to check in you must submit your roster electronically.  Complete the excel spreadsheet (there are four tabs), and then email it to akelaland@yahoo.com.  After you have completed the roster, it will estimate all of your fees.  Fees will be finalized when the sheet is checked for accuracy.

Before you come up to camp, make sure all adults have completed Youth Protection and that all youth and adults have a copy of their health form with a physical within the last 12 months.

Registration takes place on the Parade Field Porch of the Dining Hall, pictured below right

When you check in, you will need:

*Balance of all camp fees due

*Money for Friday Night Family BBQ tickets and pictures.  BBQ Tickets are $8 for an adult and $4 for 10 and under ---only adults and youth coming up to visit need to pay.  Pictures are $6 for a 5x7 and $10 for an 8x10)

*New Updated Medical form for all adults and youth with a physical within the last 12 months.

*Any medications that are in camp

Pictures: The camp photographer will take a group picture of your pack.  Pictures are $6 for a 5x7 and $10 for an 8x10.  Checks should be made out to "Minsi Trails Council."

Medical Rechecks will be conducted at the Health Lodge. Please make sure all of your Health Forms are complete, and everyone has any medications they have with them.  Except for rescue medications (inhalers, epi-pens, nitroglycerin), all medication must be stored at the Health Lodge.

Swim Tests at the pool, unless your pack has already completed them prior to camp.  To complete swim tests prior to camp, your pack needs to have them conducted by someone who is a BSA or Red Cross Lifeguard.  Submit either a letter with the results and the test conductor's certifications or complete this form.  You will need two buddy tags completed for each person who is going to be using the waterfront prior to going up to the pool.  Even if you complete your swim test prior to camp, allow our lifeguards to color your tags.

Dining Hall orientation will be completed in the Dining Hall (I know your surprised).  At Dining Hall orientation your Scouts will learn about our waiter system.  Your waiters will need to arrive to dinner at 5:45 pm.  Tables will be labeled with pack numbers for the first meal.

SCHEDULES FOR EACH PACK WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AFTER THE SUNDAY NIGHT CAMPFIRE AT A LEADERS MEETING  IN THE DINING HALL
