Winging Ceremony

thanks to everyone who came to our first Spring Camp Out! It was really fun!

Next up is our first Winging Ceremony, Friday May 21st, drop off at 6:30pm at the flagpole at Camp Shiwaka, parents proceed to the back of camp (the amphitheater) to watch the ceremony. It will start at 7pm and lasts about an hour at most. Kids must be in uniform, bring sit upon (or towel or blanket) to sit on, a jacket (they can wear a sweatshirt or turtleneck under their vest). Please bring a package of cookies to share (drop them off at the kitchen in the council on the way in, near the lodge). you can bring siblings, friends, grandparents, anyone who might like to see the ceremony.

Next meeting is Wed May 26th at the church.



Please bring Camp Shiwaka paperwork and checks to the March 26th meeting (make sure the paperwork is filled out correctly or i won't be able to turn any of our stuff in until it is fixed, double check initials and make sure you have the health section filled out) Remember we are going to the third session in August. The training for parents is in June, I will send out an email with that date, I think it is Saturday June 12th in the morning (from 9 to noon) I will confirm this by email and update the blog.

Registration packet is due by our last meeting June 16th. Check is for $26.04 made out to Camp Fire USA and includes the workbook for next year.

Please bring the workbooks for this year to the rest of the meetings. i will try to plan a meeting or two around using them.

June 16th is our last meeting of the year but we can still do fun things together over the summer, let me know if you want to plan something or just send out emails to everyone if you have a good idea, event or want to get together. Your camp fire families are a great support system and we can help each other in many ways so feel free to send out emails to everyone if you need us. My fourth grade group has become so close, many of the parents swap kids for date nights, carpool to school and sport events, share ideas about music lessons, swim classes etc etc. You have a great resource here so use it!

We will have a Camp Shiwaka meeting (that includes the kids) before we attend in August, I will send out emails and post to the blog when and where it will be held.

Thanks Rocket Cats for a great first year!!
