INSTRUCTIONS
- Register online on Campwise. Campers should register at least two weeks in advance in order to secure a spot. Camp equipment that may have been included in your registration is not guaranteed to late registrants.
- [Review the Frontiersman Workbook prior to camp].
- Pack all the items on the Equipment list yourself! That way, you know where to find it. Your Frontiersman rep is Squints. Email him if you have any questions.
- Be ready to check in at Camp at 10 am on Friday. Please be on time! You will probably have to miss a day of school. All prescription medications must be checked in with the Camp Medical Officer when you arrive at Camp.
- Arrange for your parents to attend your graduation at 2 pm. on Sunday; you may go home with them after the ceremony.
- Inform your Outpost Commander of the merit requirements you achieved at camp. Also, tell your Commander and others of your great Adventure.
