Message:

Troop winter camp is coming up soon! We will be attending Sky Ranch from Friday, February 27 through Sunday, March 1. Please sign up as soon as possible so we can confirm our numbers. If we do not have enough Scouts registered, we may need to open spots to others. Register here!

I will be reaching out to adults this coming week to confirm who is willing to serve as Merit Badge Counselors for camp. Class sign-ups will take place the first week of February, so getting registered early is important.

Cabins & Meals at Sky Ranch
All lodging includes central heat and air-conditioning and indoor bathrooms. Sky Ranch has 33 bunk-style cabins that provide a rustic camp feel with clean, enclosed sleeping quarters. Each cabin also includes a large deck area and fire pit for outdoor gatherings.

Sky Ranch serves three meals per day, with options such as biscuits and sausage, eggs, and cinnamon rolls for breakfast; burgers and fries for lunch; and grilled chicken or chicken-fried steak for dinner. Meals are balanced and nutritious, and the dining hall includes a fully stocked salad bar (yogurt, mixed salads, fresh vegetables, and more) plus a wide selection of fresh fruit at every meal.

Dietary Needs
Vegetarian, gluten-free, or other special dietary requests can be accommodated. Please contact Amy Weems at ad.weems@gmail.com with any dietary needs.
