Canoe Camp 2010
April 17, 2010 - Aldershot Community Pool
June 4^th – 6^th, 2010 - Camp Wheeler
SCOUTS, VENTURERS, PATHFINDERS

One of the Area's most eagerly anticipated events is fast approaching. The annual Area Canoe Camp, to be held this year from June 4th to 6th at Camp Wheeler near Haliburton, is an opportunity for Scouts to learn valuable canoe skills in a controlled environment, and from experienced instructors. One of the overall objectives of this event is to cover off the requirements for the Paddling Challenge badge, as detailed in your Scout Book. And, of course, it's a ton of fun!

The camp will also include an overnight out trip for Scouts working on the Advanced Tripping badge, and an Island overnight for Scouts wanting to learn lightweight camping skills.

Prior to attending the camp at Wheeler, all Scouts will be required to attend a mandatory Skills session and Pizza party, to be held at a Burlington public swimming pool. This has been scheduled for April 17th from 2:00pm to 6:30pm at Aldershot Community swimming pool. 

Cost for the event will be $85 per person, food, canoes and accommodation included.  Registration deadline is April 16th at 8:00pm.

For further information contact Scouter Bill Kowalchyk at 905-627-4824.

Jointly organized by the Area and Escarpment Area Guiding for over 32 years, Co-Op has grown to become the event of the Guiding / Scouting year.

The purpose of the event is to enable members of Girl Guides and Scouts to live, work and play together in a fun situation common to both organizations. This will help them realize their similarities (in interests, challengers & skills) and make them aware of areas where they can help each other.

The program involves physical (active) activities during the day and a late Saturday evening with a dance & movies. Leader discretion is advised as to younger campers attending.

Further information can be found on our Co-Op 2010 Website or email: campchief@coopcamp.org.
