What will my son EAT at summer camp?

            Meals are served family style at camp.  The troop sits together at pre-assigned tables throughout the week.  We eat in a large mess hall, decorated in scout & troop memorabilia.  The scouts serve as the waiters, table set-up & clean up staff on a
rotating schedule.  There is a full-time staff to prepare the meals.  The meals are well-rounded, nutritious and generally fairly tasty.  For those finicky eaters, there's always peanut butter & jelly.  Often there are "leftovers" and the call goes out for seconds.
During the meals there is plenty of entertainment as the staff engages the boys in songs and skits.

How to reach us at camp:  The camp EMERGENCY number is 540-886-7513.

Mail can be sent to:

*it does take a while to get to camp - you might want to even send mail before camp.
