Earlier this week David gave a presentation on Camp Alexander, the scout camp in Colorado that PLC has requested for this coming Summer from June 16-22, 2024.  Attached below you will find the presentation that he presented with all the information about camp and including a survey regarding summer camp. We need to get the results of the survey by October 2nd as we will need to get deposits and submit our registration to camp early.  Please reach out to David (email at summercamp@troop1001.org) if you have questions.  You can access the summer camp survey HERE

It may sound odd to be talking about planning high adventure treks for the next two years, but that is the lead time it takes to commit to and get reservations for those adventures. This survey is to find out who is interested in booking a high adventure trek in the next 2 years. We're looking at treks in 2024 & 2025. NOTE - Minimum age 12, 13 or 14 depending on the trek.

We will send out a follow-up survey based on these survey results. 

Please complete this High Adventure Survey by Oct 2nd.  Survey is accessed HERE

Attached below is a handout describing all the High Adventure options.  If you have any questions, reach out to Mike Reisinger or Stephanie Molina.
