All of the fathers and sons of all ages in the troop (and ward) are welcome and encouraged to come out to this outing. We will be staying in a camp-site on a bluff just above the beach, and will have a short 3 min walk to the beach, just south of Cape Lookout. We will be in Camp Clark (directly adjacent to Camp Meriwether) in the Rogue Siuslaw, and Necanium campsites. you can get a map of Camp Clark and our campsites here
Boys need to get to camp with their fathers, or with friends if their father cannot attend. You can get directions to the campsite by clicking here. There will be no official BSA leader to transport the boys (though several BSA leaders will be there with their own sons of all ages.) Fathers are encouraged to bring their sons, cooking together. There will be Saturday pancake breakfast provided by the ward, so you don't have to bring anything for breakfast. There are no planned or coordinated Saturday activities, and boys will return home with fathers, or friends with whom they attended anytime they want on Saturday.
There is a great 4.8 mile out-n-back hike to the tip of Cape Lookout. You can get directions and information on that hike by clicking here. There will also be some of the lowest minus tides of the year on Saturday morning (low tide is 1.3 feet below sea level at 9:04 am), and boys may wish to visit local tide pools just minutes from camp, or nearby Netart's Bay for some easy clamming (click here for clamming info).
There will also be some other organized morning activities, with a proposed tug-of-war, beach football, and some sand-castle building.
You are free to come and go as you please, though we need to have tents and gear out of camp by 2pm on Saturday. You are welcome to stay and use the beach or camp facilities all day if you'd like. If you take any good pictures, please email them to Bro. Davis for inclusion on the blog!
