The 9th Annual CAMP OPEMIKON WORK WEEKEND will be held on the weekend of April 24th – 26th, 2009.

 

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 are provided by the camp for a nominal fee of $10 per participant.

 

The format for the weekend is as follows:

 

Friday April 24th – groups arrive, settle into their accommodations, then join their fellow Scouters for mug-up at 9:30pm

 

Saturday April 25th – 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 April 26th - 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 Scouting event, not a family camp, so participation is limited to currently registered members of Scouts Canada. Registration for the event will be limited and will be on a “first come, first served” basis.
