Parents:
Well the scouts are off and summer camp is underway. I know you "first time parents" may be a bit nervous; don't be. The older scouts and adult leaders -- not to mention the excellent staff at Ockanickon -- will all help to make your son's experience super.
We'll post any important news / updates from camp here if we need to get the word out... however, you should assume "no news is good news", and that all the boys are having a great time.
So you can make your pick up plans for Saturday, here's what you need to know: - You should plan to arrive at Ocanickon Saturday, July 28, by 9:00-9:15am.
- Head over to the Parade Grounds, which is a 5-10 minute walk from the parking lot.
- Lots of parent will be arriving then, so just follow the flow in to the center of camp.
- But for those who need detailed directions, here they are anyway:
- From the parking lot, cross back over State Park road.
- Follow the main path in to camp and head "straight in" until the path hooks left, and you are see the Parade Grounds.
- You'll: pass the mess hall (on your left), a small open field (on your right), and the water tower (on your right).
- Have a seat on the hill with the other parents.
- Please do NOT plan meet the scouts at their camp site.
- At 9:30am, all the Troops will parade in.
- There will be a VERY BRIEF program. (Usually only 10 minutes or so.)
- The assembly will likely be dismissed by 10am.
- You'll then find your scout, and walk with them back to the camp site.
- Most likely, everything will be packed up, including the boys' gear on the pickup.
- You'll walk back out to the parking lot, find your stuff on the pickup, and off you go.
Mr Bludgus emphasizes: don't be late! The final ceremony is usually on-time and short.
