Troop 46 - Summer Camp at Grimes

Dear Parents,


Summer Camp is coming – The Groundhog may have disagreed and it may not seem like it in the frigid winter we are having but warmer temperatures and Summer Camp is around the corner.  

Troop 46 will be going to Camp Grimes for Summer Camp for 2025.  This is our Council's home camp and it is important to support it.  See Link at bottom to sign up.

Dates for Summer Camp this year are June 22nd through June 28th.

Cost of the camp will be $465 per scout, same as last year.  (There are additional fees for the high adventure options like ATV's and for some of the merit badge courses that are material heavy like Pottery, this will be detailed when Grimes releases the Merit Badge Schedule). 

As High Adventure Opportunities and Merit Classes fill up fast at Camp Grimes we are asking for a commitment by February 28th with an initial deposit of $125.   This will secure your scout's place at  Camp Grimes and allow the troop the opportunity to register him into Merit Badge classes or High Adventure Opportunities of his choosing. 

At the bottom of the email is a list of important dates as well as important terms and conditions.

Again, Summer is coming in not too early to be planning for it, with your help we will work to make this the most exciting year of summer camp ever.

Thank You

Chris Bergen

Summer Camp Coordinator
