12th Annual Camp Opemikon Work Weekend
The 12th Annual
This weekend provides a great opportunity
for Voyageur Council Scouting groups to meet other Scouting
groups, to spend a fun weekend at camp and to make an important
contribution to preparing YOUR camp for another summer season.
Accommodations and meals (from Friday mugup to Sunday lunch
inclusive) are provided by the camp for a nominal fee of $10 per
participant.
The format for the weekend is as follows:
Friday April 27th – groups arrive,
settle into their assigned accommodations, then join their fellow
Scouters for mugup at 9:30pm in the Dining Hall
Saturday April 28th – work day.
Tasks as assigned by the organizers. The workday will end at
suppertime, after which there will be movies in the Dining Hall
and wide games for those interested
Sunday Apr 29th - day off. Groups may
make use of the camp facilities as they see fit. Lunch will be
available
This event is for Rover Crews, Venturer
Companies, senior (i.e. third year) Scouts and adult leaders.
Troop Scouters and Company Advisors are encouraged to take
advantage of this great opportunity for linking activities
between their senior Scouts and Venturers. Individual adult
leaders are also welcome to attend. Please note – this is a
