self declared their full vaccination status on myscouts.ca. We will be checking
everyone this year. 2. Please have a covid
self screening completed as well as an Adventure Application form approved by

as best we can this year. See here: https://scoutsca.s3.amazonaws.com/2019/10/adventure-application-form.pdf 3. Participants can start
arriving after 5pm. However, with some staff members arriving late, check-in
will be from 7pm onwards at the staff cabin (cabin 1). If you arrive late,
we'll check you in the morning. Staff will direct you to camping spots so we
can ensure proper social distancing, even between camps. 4. If you haven't paid in
full online, please be ready to pay the remainder at check-in. 5. We'll have some
activities that use shared equipment. Due to this, we ask that you bring what
you can to help run the events to assist in covid precautions. This includes -
Compasses -
Fire making tools that
aren't matches or lighters. Could be flint and steel, small wooden bow with
twine, graphite rocks, etc. (be creative. No flamethrowers). For the equipment we provide, it will be sanitized between
use. Thanks again for coming, everyone. It's been a long time since
the last camp and I'm excited to see everyone, new and old friends alike. Any
