Come for Saturday’s Belt Loop Activities and enjoy an Overnight Camp Experience!

                                        - or - Saturday/Sunday Activities, All Meals, and Patch $14.00/person
Cubs must attend with an adult.  If the Pack has a large enough group, we may be able to coordinate a carpool.  Belt Loop Sessions will fill fast and are on a first-come, first-served basis.  The earlier you sign up, the better your chance of getting the belt loops you want.  Belt loops that are earned can be purchased through your Pack and are not provided as part of the fee for this event.
Saturday only ($7.00 fee) walk-ins are welcome on the day of the event.  Walk-ins must bring a sack lunch.  Walk-ins will be assigned to available spots in belt loop activities.  Some activities may be full and therefore closed to walk-in participants.

•             No animals, except service dogs
•             No firearms, bows, ammunition, or fireworks permitted
