Welcome To Camp Sunrise 2010 Summer Season
We would like to welcome you and your Cub Scouts to a spectacular summer adventure at Camp Sunrise!
This will be Camp Sunrise’s 83rd anniversary and we have some great surprises in store for you.
The overall theme for resident camp will be “100 Years Of Scouting” This theme will give your Cub Scouts a chance to learn about the history, customs, traditions, activities, and events from the past 100 Years Of Scouting. Using costumes and themed activities, Camp Sunrise will be transformed into “100 Years Of Scouting” a place where your young actors can travel to the outer limits of their imaginations. Even the campsites will take on new identities:
- Abenaki will become Ventures
- Mohawk will Boy Scouts
- Eagle Point will become Explorers
- Upper Apache will become Webelos
- Lower Apache will become Cubs
- Lakeview will become Sea Scouts
- Iroquois will become Tigers
Packs will be encouraged to decorate their site that goes with the campsite they are in. Packs will also be asked to put on a short session to educate others about their scouting branch.
The Webelos II program was a great success in ’08 and ‘09. This program will be back in 2010. The program will be capped to the first 36 participants each week, get your rosters in early! Keep an eye on the website for a more detailed program description, packing list, and pre-registration form.
Camp Sunrise has held a special place in our hearts since we first laid eyes on it more than a decade ago. We are incredibly excited to have the opportunity to invite you to a summer so that you too can fall in love with this magical place where as the Camp Sunrise song says "the scouts can still roam and grow into men".
