Youth Activities

As we move forward in 2023, we are encouraging our lodges to remain engaged with our State Major Project through donations, coming to camp and helping with much needed supplies. 

We have a list below of items you may provide to one of the board members or bring with you in April to convention.  One targeted area this year is fitted sheets and our supply inventory. These items will help us keep our costs down while adding much needed supplies. (See list below.)
​
  1. Bottled water
  2. Baby wipes
  3. Sunscreen
  4. Medical Supplies (band aids, Tylenol, Aspirin, Neosporin)
  5. Snacks (lodge participation or sponsor a day)
  6. Coloring books, crayons, glue, markers and colored paper (craft items)
  7. Trash bags
  8. Zip lock bags
  9. Plates, cups, napkins and utensils
  10. Fitted sheets
​We are also looking for transportation from camp to bowling, swimming and maybe a ballgame.  Anyone with knowledge of local buses that are handicap accessible, please contact Taffy.  We truly want our campers to have the best experience.

There are plenty of ways to help or get involved.
Thank you for all your continued support.
Elizabeth Pernell, President and the entire Board
