All: We need to be at Massawepie at 1 PM. Its is at least a 2 ½ hour drive from Utica. My suggestion is to take Route 12 north to Lowville, then Route 812 north to Route 3 east. Follow Route 3 east through Harrisville, ( watch the speed limit in Harrisville), then through Star Lake, Cranberry Lake, past NYS Route 56 and Childwold. Massawepie is on the right, (look for the large sign) and follow the dirt road to the main parking lot. You have each other’s email contact info if you want to coordinate carpooling. Pick up is 9 AM on the 22nd.
Kim and I plan on being there for the week. I have paid for 1 additional leader and would be happy to pay for others. I believe Peter O., Jim G., Jim Freemire have indicated that they would like to attend part of the week. Please let me know what days you will be there, ASAP. Any other leaders?
These items need to be with you or me upon arrival at camp:
- Copies of your current BSA Medical Parts A,B and C sign by a Dr. with in 1 year of arrival. If you have a signed medical form other than the BSA Part C make sure it contains all of the info which is on Part C of the BSA Medical.
- Youth Medication Permission Form (This is for OTC medicines and FA creams etc. which can be administered by the Health Officer.)
- Any OTC or Prescription medication must be in their original container. Place any of these in a zip lock bag with name, phone #, dosage and time taken.
The above forms can be found at the camp website as follows: Goggle Camp Massawepie (Camp Pioneer), on the tool bar select Outdoors, on the drop- down menu click on 2023 Camp Pioneer Camp Registration. Pan down about halfway to Attachments. I would also suggest that you read the Leader’s Guide and Program Guide in these attachments.
Personal gear to remember: Sleeping bag, toiletries, swimsuit/towel, non-aerosol bug repellent, Scoutbook, scout uniform, changes of clothes, raincoat/poncho. Don’t bring a cell phone or electronic games. Check your Scoutbook for a complete list.
Any ??? contact me.
