2019 White Oak/Potomac Cub Scout Day Camp
BENEATH THE SEA
Camp Dates: June 17-21, 2019
Camp Location: Izaak Walton League- Lois Green, 8721 Snouffer School Rd, Gaithersburg, MD
Camp Hours: Monday 6/17 through Friday 6/21 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Who Can Attend?
Registered Cub Scouts and Webelos, boys and girls, between the ages of 6 and 10 (grades 1-5 as of Fall 2019) are eligible for day camp. Each rising Tiger Cub will need to have their Tiger Cub Partner attend camp with him or her every day.
Do you have a friend that might be interested in joining Cub Scouts next year? They can register as a Cub Scout to attend Day Camp with your Pack. A new member application needs to be submitted at time of registration for camp. A pro-rated fee of $19.25 would be charged in addition to the guaranteed New to Scouting price of $190 for camp registration. If the family would like to join the Pack after camp, any dues the Pack charges would be due to the Pack upon joining that Pack. Den Walking responsibilities and camp paperwork would need to be coordinated with the perspective Pack.
Activities:
Day Camp activities at this location include archery instruction, target shooting (BBs and/or slingshot), nature, crafts, fishing, sports, Scout Skills, and other activities.
Advancement is not the specific goal of Cub Scout Day Camp. However, many times a specific camp activity may focus on rank achievements. In this case, if the participants are fully active, they may complete the rank achievement during Day Camp and the Pack Coordinator will be notified of the completion. Packs purchase the awards and present the advancements and/or achievements at a future Den or Pack event.
Camp Fees:
Register now through April 28 $190*
Register between April 29 and May 19 $210
Register between May 20 and June 9 $230
Late Registration Fee beginning June 10 $260
*If not currently registered as a Cub Scout, a new member app must be submitted to their new unit prior to camp or they can register for camp without joining a pack for the prorated summer rate $19.25. They would still need to join a pack (and pay pack membership fees) in the Fall to continue with Cub Scouting.
To allow for proper planning and to have all materials available for your child, please register before June 10, 2019. Late registrations may not have all materials available for use at camp. In all planning, extra supplies are purchased. However, a large volume of late registrations may deplete excess supplies. T-shirts and water bottles for late registrations typically take 48 hours to obtain from NCAC.
