SUMMER CAMP

We're excited to announce that summer camp has been scheduled for July 1-7, 2012 at Camp Thunder! Thunder is the Flint River Council camp in the Pine Mountain region of west central Georgia, and highlights more than 60 merit badges, a Buckskin first-year camper program, and the Pathfinder outdoor adventure for 2nd-year campers.  Plus, Camp Thunder gives Scouts access to the southeast's oldest high adventure base: COPE, climbing, the Flint River Challenge, River Rat Adventures, 50-Miler Treks, and the famous Mountain Man pioneer experience. Plus, every troop that comes to Camp Thunder receives a free 1/2 day adventure program.

And we're really excited because, although we have a crew that will be headed to Philmont that same week, we have the opportunity to take our biggest group to camp yet! That's really good news because it means a better camp experience for all of our scouts. The cost for camp is $285.00.  The first payment of $72.00 is due on January 24; the second payment of $72.00, on February 21; and the balance on or before April 24.

We will also need no less than four adults to spend the week with us. That will work out to a cost of $62.00 per adult. Where else can you get a week of camp food for such a great price?  And the dining hall has AC!
