18^th Niagara Wolf Cubs

05/08/00

 

Dear Parents:

 

The 18^th Niagara Wolf Cubs will be participating in the Niagara/St. Catherines District Summer Cub Camp.   The camp is being held June 2-4 at Camp Wetaskawin in St. Catherines.  There will be approximately 300 Cubs from both districts attending.  The camp will cost $30.00 per Cub.  This cost includes all food, a campfire blanket crest, a ball cap and all weekend activities.  Cubs may be dropped off at the camp no earlier than 6:30 pm on the Friday.  If there is a problem with getting your child to the camp, please speak to a leader and we will make arrangements.

 

Attached are two forms that must be completed and returned to us in order for your Cub to attend the camp.  The first is the Physical Fitness Certificate. Please fill this form out completely.  Please include any medical problem no matter how insignificant it may seem.   When filling out this form please include your cub’s provincial medical plan number.  We realize that this number is private but in the unlikely event of an accident we need this number to obtain medical aid for your youth.  We will destroy or return these forms to you at the end of the camp for privacy reasons.

 

The second form is the Parent/Guardian Consent Form.  When completing this form please include any cellular, pager or work numbers where you may be reached over the weekend in the event that we cannot reach you at home.  Please include these numbers in the secondary address area of the form.

 

Please let us know as soon as possible if you plan for your child to attend.  Forms and payment must be received no later than May 29.  If you are able to return them to us sooner it would be appreciated.

 

Please see the attached kit list for what to bring and what not to bring to the camp.  Please if possible have your Cub present when packing their bag so that they are aware of what they are bringing to camp.  Please ensure that everything your Cub brings to camp is labeled.  We are not responsible for lost items and anything that the leaders carry home will be $.25 to get back.  For any Cubs that require medication please put all meds into a zip lock type bag with instructions written on the outside.

 

If you have any additional questions regarding the camp please do not hesitate to speak to any member of the leadership team.

 

 

Yours In Scouting
