2010 Summer Camp
Camp Turrell , Cuddebackville , New York
Sunday July 11th to Saturday July 17th
For over four decades Troop 17 has offered a summer camp experience to our Scouts. No better activity during the Scouting years offers your son the ability to advance in Scouting, learn new outdoor skills, demonstrate leadership skills, and make memories to last a lifetime then summer camp.
Summer camp will offer your son the opportunity to swim and learn environmental skills. They can partake in archery and riflemanship, or even learn to sail while raking up merit badges and traveling the road to Eagle Scout.
This year our Troop will be attending Camp Turrell, Cuddebackville, New York, located in the Tri-state area of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York State, from Sunday, 11 July 2010 through Saturday, 17 July 2010. Summer camp is open to all Troop members, but is especially important for our newest Scouts.
Camp Turrell is owned and operated by the Northern New Jersey Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It meets and exceeds the accreditation and safety standards by both the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America and the State of New York. In addition to the camp staff, the Troop is supervised by our own qualified adult leaders with training in youth protection and first aid.
To register your son for this experience is simple. Just send a check made out to Troop 17 for $335.00, sign the enclosed permission slip, and have your son’s physician fill out the attached health form. Please mail the packet, in the enclosed envelope, to my attention at 98 Short Hills Avenue, Short Hills, New Jersey 07078, NO LATER than Friday, 23 April 2010 – NO EXCEPTIONS. The entire packet must be complete for your son to be registered.
As always, the ability to pay for summer camp should never be an obstacle for your son’s ability to attend camp. If you need a camp scholarship or have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at (973) 379-4975 or at MillburnPD@aol.com.
