Cub Scout Information (what to bring, not bring, Day Camp Code of Conduct)

General Information

We are very excited to offer, for the first time in Wisdom Trail history, Tiger Cub only Twilight Camp! Tiger Cubs are boys who have just finished Kindergarten. The difference in this camp and regular day camp is that the Tiger Cub must be accompanied at all times by his adult Tiger partner (mom, dad or an adult 21+ years of age.)

So……Stretch those muscles, practice your long jumps! It’s time for Wisdom Trail’s Cub Olympians Tiger Cub Twilight Camp! Twilight Camp will take place Tuesday, June10^th through Thursday, June 12^th, 2008.   Twilight Camp will be held at Camp Wisdom Scout Camp, 6400 Red Bird Lane, Dallas.  Take the Cedar Ridge exit off I-20 and travel north.  Turn left on Red Bird Lane; Camp Wisdom will be on your left.

Opening ceremonies will begin each evening at 6:00pm at the flagpole next to the parking lot. Closing ceremonies will also be at the flagpole at 8:30 pm  

This year, due to all districts going through the council for t-shirts and patches, registration must be turned in earlier than in years past. Also ALL registration MUST go through your packs Day Camp Coordinator. INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS WLL NOT BE ACCEPTED. For costs see the registration form. You will note that the first registration will be due May 9, 2008  Fees include all the activities of Twilight Camp, a T-shirt, a Day Camp Patch (which will be distributed the last day of day camp) Registrations received after May 26^th are not guaranteed to receive Camp T-shirts or patches. Fees paid for Twilight Camp are non-refundable and are not pro-rated based on the number of days a Scout attends Twilight Camp.  Registrations will be accepted by Pack at the Cub Scout Roundtables at The Grace Place, Duncanville Church of Christ, 402 W. Danieldale, Duncanville.

Tiger Cub Adult partners will receive one Camp T-shirt at no additional cost.  Extra T-shirts may be ordered by anyone for an additional $8.00 per shirt. T-shirts will be issued to a Pack representative at the time of the swim tests for regular Day Camp. There will be no need for swim testing for Tiger Cub Scouts or adult partners attending Twilight Camp ONLY. Time and date will be announced at the May Roundtable as well as online at www.wisdomtrail.org and by e-mail to Cubmasters.  Please watch for this announcement.

Day Camp t-shirts must be worn everyday by everyone attending, volunteering or staffing Day Camp.  This is for identification and safety purposes. Everyone (parent, grandparent, etc.) who visits for a couple hours or the entire day must sign in at Headquarters to receive a visitors ID badge and submit required paperwork.  Any Camper or staff person who does not have a Day Camp T-shirt must also check in at Headquarters and receive an ID badge.

Medication that is to be taken while at camp needs to be in a Ziplock bag clearly labeled with name, unit number and when to take the medication.  Medication must be in an original prescription container.  All medication will be kept at the First Aid Center and dispensed by the Camp Nurse. Any exceptions must be cleared through the Camp Directors.

If your camper has any special physical, medical or emotional needs PLEASE note this on their Health form as well as speak with Debie Franz or Sharon Coleman.  Our goal is for everyone to have a memorable experience while at camp and we must be made aware of special needs in advance.

All Registration and Health& Medical Forms are to be kept at Headquarters/First Aid Center for quick access in the event of an emergency.
