Fall Adventure Weekend
Pack 934 families,
It’s time to GO CAMPING!!!!!!! I wanted to reach out and share the information about Fall Adventure Weekend 2024 at Raven Knob so that we had a little time to prepare. I am attaching the full PDF of the leaders guide for the weekend. I will be arriving early on Friday (should be around 2-3pm) to make sure the campsites are all in order. Everyone will come directly to the campsite upon arrival and check in with leadership there. I am including some important information that needs to be filled out for check in to go smoothly. For those who have not attended before I have included our Car Camping checklist of what gear you may want to bring. I will also be going shopping for some new gear soon so if you want any guidance please feel free to contact me or any of the leaders and we will help you out with suggestions. Signs ups are due this Friday (October 19)!
